Exploring Student Reactions to Inserted Questions in Text

Abstract

This paper describes a survey carried out on a small sample of Open University students in an effort to assess the value they attach to inserted questions they encounter either within or at the end of their study materials. While varied, student reactions were mainly supportive of the notion that inserted questions were useful adjunct aids to learning.
