These test results lead to me ask another question? Shouldn’t students who learned skills/content via software be tested in a like modality? “Standardized tests” are usually written on paper. It is assumed that some students learned the same material in a classroom, but in a more prosocial environment (learning groups, social interactions, facilitated learning) but those students who learned via software would normally be working at their own pace, individualzed learning, but not having the same opportunities for social interactions with peers. Could this be the crucial factor affecting results?
