A Student-Centered Cost-Benefit Analysis of Online Homework
Boudreaux, Gregory M.; Haugh, Janine; Johnson, Ed; Tinney, Laura; Whitlock, Cathy
PRIMUS, v32 n1 p45-56 2022
Several publishing companies now offer competing brands of online homework (OHW) software. Students rarely have a voice in choosing their required course materials, even though, ultimately, they will be asked to use and pay for these systems. In this study, Calculus I students each tested three different OHW systems. The students were then asked to fill out a survey to determine whether students are willing to pay a greater price for systems with greater support for solving problems. A surprising percentage of students indicated that they were willing to pay more for software with help features and a sophisticated user interface.
