Abstract

Personalization and active learning help educational systems to close the gap between students with varying abilities. We run a comparative head-to-head study of learning outcomes for two popular online platforms: Platform A, which delivers content over lecture videos and multiple-choice quizzes, and Platform B, which provides interactive problem-solving exercises and personalized feedback. We observe a statistically significant increase in the learning outcomes on Platform B. Further, the results of the self-assessment questionnaire suggest that participants using Platform B improve their metacognition.
