Results so far
• Students who used IguideME have a higher score for Perusall
assignments and have a higher MSLQ score for critical thinking, self-
regulation and intrinsic motivation
• Positive correlation between the number of times that IguideME was
used and the final course grade
• Students reported that IguideME has helped them with online studying,
increased their motivation, and provided insight into their study progress
• Teachers tracked potential drop-outs early and contacted students, which
was very much appreciated by students

Ongoing and future outlook
• Ongoing research: e.g. correlation to study time, summative grades,
correct answers to higher bloom level exam questions, etc
• Enroll IguideME in other courses at UvA
• Implement IguideME at RUG and VU
