Resumo
Previous research in Educational Psychology has showed the positive results for students’ engagement and learning of, on the one hand, the so-called Testing effect, or answering questions after study sessions; and, on the other hand, Spaced education, meaning spaced repetition of the same questions at specific intervals, which increases long-term retention. Taking this into account, online and mobile tools suitable to promote learning by testing thanks to automatic continuous formative-feedback, would be very helpful in massive distance education universities. Participants enrolled in any UNEDTrivial receive a daily email with the questions they have to answer. Thanks to the feedback provided in each response attempt, students build their knowledge in a guided and progressive way, correcting failures and reinforcing successes. Furthermore, UNEDTrivial uses gamification tools to increase student engagement such as a leaderboard, being compatible with Moodle badges. In this communication, UNEDTrivial will be presented, as well as the first results after have been applied in an undergraduate course on Economic History.
