| Abstract: | We examine the association between student use of a unique, interactive, on-line learning system known as MarlinaLS? and the learning outcomes achieved by students in a major second year undergraduate accounting subject over the period 2002–2003. Primarily, we explore the relationship between students’ use of MarlinaLS?, an on-line system developed specifically to enhance reciprocal learning, and the examination performance of those students. Our results show that students’ use of MarlinaLS? is positively associated with their examination performance and also with the internal assessment result achieved. We also find that the extent of usage of the MarlinaLS? system by students varies systematically based on a number of defined characteristics. The study enhances our understanding of the role of teaching strategies generally, and, more specifically, the role of interactive on-line learning systems in improving student learning outcomes. |
