AB  - PathFinder is an active website coded in html, asp.net, c#, JavaScript, xml, and MathML. Thewebsite assembles ebooks on the fly from an xml database. The ebooks have randomly selectedand generated exercises that are automatically graded. Instantaneous feedback is provided toboth students and professors regarding performance on on-line exercises.PathFinder is used to deliver an ebook to a first year introductory engineering course. In Fall2013 12 sections of 20 – 25 students each used the Pathfinder ebook. This provides anopportunity to investigate the effectiveness of on-line practice problems. PathFinder provideson-line practice problems that students can work before completing scored problems. Practiceproblems can be similar or related to the student’s scored problem. A similar practice problemis identical to the scored problem (same problem statement), but the given input values aredifferent. A related practice problem is different from the scored problem, both in input valuesand problem statement.Four sets of four problems each were used to investigate 4 scenarios. Scenarios were randomlyapplied such that each student was exposed to all four scenarios, but on different sets ofproblems. In all scenarios the fourth problem had no practice problem, so it could be used as atest of the effectiveness of the practice problems provided for the first three problems. In thefirst scenario, no practice problems were provided. In the second, three similar practiceproblems were provided. In the third, three related practice problems were provided. In thefourth, the first problem had a similar, the second a related, and the third no practice problem.The effectiveness of each scenario will be evaluated using (1) student scores on the fourthproblems, (2) survey questions completed by students after finishing each series of fourquestions, and (3) examination performance on related problems. The results are expected toprovide feedback that can be used to select one scenario for providing practice problems in thefuture.
