Use of an Adaptive e-Learning Platform as a Formative Assessment Tool in the Cardiovascular System Course Component of an MBBS Programme Letter

摘要

We read with great interest the article by Borges et al1 on the use of “Firecracker”, an adaptive e-Learning Platform for Formative Assessment. The authors concluded that use of the platform correlated with better academic performance in both final examinations and in-course assessments. Adaptive e-learning highly resonates with us as fifth-year Medical Students at Imperial College London and we wish to share our view on the topic whilst also addressing certain aspects of this paper.
