Candel, Carmen; Máñez, Ignacio; Cerdán, Raquel; Vidal-Abarca, Eduardo – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Elaborative feedback (EF) containing explanations on students' responses benefits learning. Computer-based environments provide learners with EF in different ways, for example, on an immediate question-by-question basis or after answering a set of questions. Recent findings also suggest that delaying EF enhances learning. However, it is unclear to…

Lardy, Laurent; Bressoux, Pascal; De Clercq, Mikael – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2022
The massification and diversification of the student population who enters university has become a challenge for Higher Education institutions. A better consideration of this diversity could help to gain a greater understanding of students' achievement process, and this requires observing situations where this diversity is substantial. Thus, in…
