It found that the most significant impact on grades came from a homework management system, which allowed students to interact directly with course content by answering questions and solving problems while receiving immediate feedback, and an interactive learning management system that offered PowerPoint slides from lectures, videos of lab experiments, previous exams, and a discussion board to communicate with other students. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heqco.ca\/SiteCollectionDocuments\/Multiple%20Eletronic%20Learning%20Resources%20ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the full report<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online learning tools, particularly those that focus on interaction with course material and other students, have a positive impact on students\u2019 grades, according to a new study on first-year Carleton University chemistry students by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO).
