Effectiveness of practicing with an e-learning tool based on an error-driven learning algorithm in physiology education
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: We developed an e-learning tool conceptually based on error-driven learning and implemented it in a first-year physiology course. The tool was designed to support correction of incorrect recall through repeated corrective feedback. Using objective measures derived from student activity logs, we showed that the number of repeated practices was significantly associated with learning improvement and final examination scores, even after adjusting for baseline academic aptitude and initial accuracy. This approach may support introductory physiology education.
