dc.description.abstractThis mixed method study with quasi-experimental design explored the use of active learning-based remedial online tutorials. Three 200 student sections of a first year biology course were offered additional online tutorials (Tutorial Class in 2017), and they were compared to traditional lectures a year before without tutorials (Control Class in 2016). Apre-test that contained conceptual questions from all course units was given during the first week , and as a post-test during the final exam. Two midterms, lab exam, and final exam grades were collected, in addition an online student survey (n=225) and focus group (n=3) provided qualitative feedback. Students enrolled in Biology 1001 in Fall 2017 were granted access to five piloted modules on Brightspace(D2L) that addressed the structure of eukaryotic cells, the plasma membrane, diffusion and osmosis, meiosis and inheritance and DNA to RNA to Protein. Each module provided students with the opportunity to watch videos, and complete interactive activities, reflection questions and quizzes.
