An article from PysOrg says: Useless online student quizzes
http://www.physorg.com/news183226400.html

The article is rather brief, deals with older learners and I haven't gone to
the original research. But are we kidding ourselves that such "quizzes"
(usually used in US as substitute for word "test") are effective means of
improving performance? Or is it a matter of instructional design?

Regards

Neil
