Abstract

This article presents design, development, and evaluation of POSbase in Psychology teaching. POSbase is a highly flexible system that encourages constructive and self-regulated learning. It also allows researchers and instructors to share their teaching materials and experience. POSbase was introduced to undergraduate and to masters students in psychology. We conducted two formative evaluations and implemented improvements between and after the evaluations. Findings from the evaluations show users' positive response toward POSbase as well as requirements for further improvement of the functionalities.
