The system was used in a course on basic statistics in the University of Iceland, spring 2013. A randomized trial was conducted to investigate the difference in learning between students doing regular homework and students using the system. The difference between the groups was not found to be significant. : Presented at Edulearn 2013, Barcelona Report Iceland DataCite Metadata Store (German National Library of Science and Technology)
