Description
Summary:The use of online self-assessed questionnaires Wirisquizzes as formative assessment tool is an increasingly widespread practice in a variety of subjects in higher education. Some previous studies have examined the impact of such questionnaires on learning outcomes in classroom environments or hybrid teaching. This paper presents an exploratory study that proves that in a course of mathematical analysis in a completely online environment, practices with Wiris-quizzes improve learning outcomes. We have conducted an ex-post facto research from the results of the practice tests and continuous assessment tests carrying out an analysis using the trimmed means Yuen's test.
