Abstract
With the prevalence of Internet, eLearning provides a platform for education that enables students to take classes online. While eLearning provides a flexible learning environment, it also has drawbacks. This research investigated the potential benefit of the proposed method in an informal formative web-based assessment. The data were collected from college students in three separated groups. The statistical analyses showed mixed results. Some possible reasons were discussed along with other methods that could be further explored in the future.
