Automated assessments and student learning

This study examines the effects of using a course website to give automated assessments. The purposes of the assessments were to provide students with sufficient incentive to complete homework assignments prior to class, encourage mastery of basic homework concepts prior to class, save class time reviewing their homework assignments, and facilitate assessment of student learning by automating grading. Effects on motivation and performance were found.
