In fall 2018, Pearson worked with Lecturer Jeffrey Koplik at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI to investigate whether the use of Revel for Financial Markets and Institutions by Mishkin and Eakins helped students succeed.
Researchers found that:
Average homework and chapter test scores increased
Students believed Revel helped them learn and retain the material better than a traditional textbook
Prior to implementing Revel™, Koplik found that students were frequently attending class without having read the assigned material and were unprepared for discussions. While finance classes are generally quantitative in nature, reading the chapter material remains an important part of the overall learning experience. In Fall 2018, Koplik elected to assign Revel readings and quizzes in hopes of increasing student preparedness and engagement.
How was Revel used in his course?
Revel assignments are due on or before the day of lecture, so students come to class prepared to learn. On the student survey, 95% of respondents agreed that completing Revel assignments prior to lecture helped them prepare for the new material being introduced in class. Revel assignments are worth a combined 20% of the final course grade.
Did Revel improve student success over the semester?
Average exam scores were nine percentage points higher for students earning Revel scores above average
Final course scores were 13 percentage points higher for students earning Revel scores above average
69% of students scoring above average on Revel assignments earned an A or B as their average exam grade, while 45% of students scoring below average on Revel assignments earned an A or B.
28% of students scoring below average on Revel assignments earned a D or F as their average exam grade, while just 4% of students scoring above average on Revel assignments earned a D, and none of these students earned a failing exam grade.
Did the students like using Revel?
Responses from the Fall 2018 end-of-semester survey of Koplik’s students indicate that the majority of responding students recognize the value of Revel.
82% of respondents agreed that the “read a little, do a little” interactive approach of Revel helped them learn and retain the material better than they would have with a traditional textbook
64% of respondents said they prefer the interactivity of Revel to a traditional print textbook
76% of respondents said the resources provided in Revel made the program a good value for the course
One student said:
“I enjoyed being able to practice after the reading. It was also helpful to be able to use the homework and quizzes to help me prepare for exams.”
Pearson surveyed 7 instructors and conducted 3 interviews in spring 2021 to better understand how they used and experienced Revel’s “Organizational Behavior: Developing Skills for Managers” by Lamm & Tosti-Kharas during a pilot period.
Through this work, we found that Revel delivers an engaging learning experience with high-quality content that promotes student success and supports instructors.
