Abstract

Overall student satisfaction and participation were high for regular online quizzes in a first year physics unit at Edith Cowan University in 2004. Students overwhelmingly believed that the quizzes helped them learn physics and study more consistently over the semester. The key elements have been compulsory and formative assessment where students have been allowed to use detailed feedback to improve their quiz scores.
