Results of the Spacing vs. Cramming and LMS engagement study

Students who maintained spacing had higher grades overall than students who maintained cramming
Self-reported study patterns based on the survey are pretty accurate predictors for final course outcomes
Self-reported spacers engaged more with the resources than the students who were self-reported crammers
Daily resource click counts were averaged and show that students who maintained cramming interacted less than those who maintained spacing
Overall, students interacted more with the LMS closer to exam dates than other lower-stakes assignments-exam dates were driving the students towards interaction
Spacing and cramming students illustrated similar patterns of cramming before exams, indicating that instructors need to encourage students to space more
There was inconclusive results about URM students and their study habits
