Reminders guide students in meeting course expectations for submitting assignments.
Variables linked to the effective use of reminders are unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact on student grades and attitudes of using routine reminders for assignments in an online course.
Students enrolled in online graduate and undergraduate nursing courses were emailed weekly reminders for discussion board assignments. Students received reminders for half of the semester and served as their own control to evaluate the impact of reminders on grades.
There was no significant impact of reminders on grades or overall attitude. However, when undergraduate and graduate students were compared on individual questions on an attitude toward reminders' scale, undergraduate students reported that reminders were necessary, had a positive impact on their grades, and should be included in all courses.
Reminders should be routinely used in undergraduate online courses.
提醒可以引导学生满足课程对提交作业的期望。
与提醒的有效使用相关的变量尚不清楚。本研究旨在评估在在线课程中使用常规提醒对学生成绩和态度的影响。
向在线研究生和本科生护理课程的学生发送有关讨论板作业的每周提醒电子邮件。学生在学期的一半时间收到提醒，作为自己的对照组，以评估提醒对成绩的影响。
提醒对成绩或整体态度没有显著影响。然而，当对态度量表上的个别问题对本科和研究生进行比较时，本科生报告提醒是必要的，对他们的成绩有积极影响，并且应该包含在所有课程中。
提醒应在本科在线课程中常规使用。
