Spacing vs. Cramming and LMS engagement study Intro

  • National reports suggest that URM students underperform in comparison with other students in STEM fields specifically
  • Spacing works because it encourages you to forget information, and then when you have to retrieve it, it makes the connections stronger and better for the next time
  • The further spaced the study sessions are, the better, because it encourages students to forget more
  • Students who space end up doing better academically
  • To analyze the spacing effect, they wanted to use click-stream data to see how the students interacted with the LMS
