N2 - This study explored the effectiveness of an adaptive web-based learning tutorial designed to teach three modules of a college level introductory statistics course. Specifically, the impact of the tutorial on student knowledge, motivation, and study time was examined. One hundred thirty-four college students were randomly assigned to study from either an adaptive or a non-adaptive version of the tutorial. Data were obtained through surveys, achievement tests, and system logs. Results indicated that students’ performance on a knowledge test was significantly higher for students in the adaptive ver-sion. Similarly, tutorial study time for students in the adaptive version was significantly higher than those in the non-adap-tive version of the tutorial.
