The advent of the integrated learning system (ILS) offers instructors opportunities to provide students with feedback-enabled, interactive learning exercises as online supplements to assigned textbooks. Major college publishers are now bundling an ILS with many of their textbook offerings in undergraduate courses in psychology and other fields. We incorporated an ILS in two separate classes in introductory psychology and evaluated the learning benefits of requiring ILS quizzing and concept-building exercises embedded within the ILS. The two classes were taught by different instructors using the same textbook and course examinations. We incentivized use of these ILS resources by allocating a substantial portion of the student's grade to performance on online assignments. Our findings suggest potential learning benefits of requiring these ILS resources. As learning benefits were limited to students in the upper third of the class distribution, additional efforts may be needed to help poorer performing students utilize online resources more effectively.

集成学习系统中嵌入的在线测验和概念构建练习的课堂评估

集成学习系统 (ILS) 的出现为教师提供了机会，可以为学生提供基于反馈的交互式学习练习，作为指定教科书的在线补充。主要的大学出版商现在将 ILS 与他们在心理学和其他领域的本科课程中提供的许多教科书捆绑在一起。我们在两个独立的心理学入门课程中加入了 ILS，并评估了要求将 ILS 测验和概念构建练习嵌入 ILS 中的学习益处。这两堂课由不同的教师使用相同的教科书和课程考试教授。我们通过将学生成绩的很大一部分分配给在线作业的表现来激励使用这些 ILS 资源。我们的研究结果表明需要这些 ILS 资源的潜在学习好处。由于学习收益仅限于班级分布前三分之一的学生，因此可能需要做出更多努力来帮助表现较差的学生更有效地利用在线资源。
