Scaffolded online learning modules for milliequivalency and milliosmolarity

A chi-square test revealed that overall students who used the scaffolded modules did significantly better on the exam than students who did not use the modules, χ2 (1, N = 1832) = 68.48, p = 1.27E−16. In looking at the individual questions (four total), the chi-square test resulted in a significant difference in two. Both of these were milliequivalency questions-in the first question, χ2 (1, N = 458) = 38.30, p = 6.08E−16, and in the second, χ2 (1, N = 458) = 39.91, p = 2.66E−16. Based on student survey feedback, students were in favor of these self-paced modules as preparation for the calculations they would have to perform in class and in exams.
