Evaluating course design

The role of formative assessment in a blended learning course

Lecture attendance and formative assessment

Lecture attendance and formative assessment explained 29% \(F(2, 271) = 55.2, p < 0.001\) of the variance.

  • Lecture attendance \(b = −0.006\) \(t(271) = −0.31, p > .05\)
  • Formative assessment \(b = 0.22\) \(t(271) = 10.49, p < .001\)
