Abstract
The Advanced Placement (AP) descriptive chemistry website uses repeatable automated practice with immediate performance-related feedback to enhance students learning. A recent study of the website analyzes students errors and misconceptions in solving descriptive chemistry problems. The current purpose is to study the redesigned AP descriptive chemistry website. The population sample for the study includes AP descriptive chemistry students and teachers. Usage patterns of the website will be analyzed to assess learner performance by the ANOVA method.
