DOI: 10.1186/s12909-019-1534-x
Abstract: BackgroundA potential concern of formative testing using web-based applications (“apps”) is provision of limited feedback. Adopting a randomised controlled trial in 463 first year (bio) medical students, we explored if providing immediate, detailed feedback during… read more here.
