Abstract
![CDATA[Response feedback in web-based multiple-choice questions can assist students to gauge their understanding of learning material. This study compared the relative effectiveness of ‘verification only’ and ‘elaborative’ response feedback, in a web-based introductory pharmacology course. Data collected on 678 undergraduate students showed elaborative feedback was more effective than verification only feedback, reflected by the higher scores on the summative assessment. While this difference was significant in the two lower GPA groups (P=0.002 and P=0.001 respectively), the gap was not significant (P=0.186) among students with high GPAs, suggesting a greater need for providing elaborative feedback, particularly for students with lower GPAs.]]
