The Pressbooks Results Difference

What difference does LMS grade passback make?

Learning science research provides strong causal evidence for the "doer effect," the phenomenon that student outcomes improve as learners complete more online interactive practice activities. Pressbooks Results empowers instructors to engage the "doer effect" in their classrooms by combining online practice activities (created with H5P) with the incentive of giving gradebook credit for effort spent mastering these activities.

Q: When I clone a webbook in Pressbooks, can I adapt the H5P activities?

Yes. In cloned books, H5P activities are copied over into the new book. They can be edited and adapted in the cloned book without affecting the original (source) book's activities.

Q: Can multiple instructors who share the same webbook use Pressbooks Results in different courses?

Yes, multiple instructors can use Pressbooks Results with the same book in different courses. The only caveat is that when sharing a book, the grading scheme used for each chapter must be the same for everyone. This includes which grade to record (e.g. average / best attempt / first attempt) and which graded H5P activities send scores to the LMS gradebook.

Although they need to use the same grading scheme, they can still make other adjustments in their individual LMS courses (such as which assignments to include, which order to present them in, how much each chapter will be worth in the gradebook, and how each graded chapter will be weighted relative to other assignments). Instructors may also bring additional materials into their LMS courses, within whatever guidelines are set by their departments.

Instructors only need to create a separate copy of the book if they want to select different activities for grading or use a different grading scheme for the chapters.
