Introduction: The role of feedback in test-enhanced learning is an understudied area that has the potential to improve student learning. This study investigates the influence of different forms of post-test feedback on retention and transfer of biomedical knowledge within a test-enhanced learning framework.
Methods: 64 participants from a Canadian and an Australian medical school sat two single-best-answer formative multiple choice tests one week apart.
Background: Medical trainees increasingly use smartphones in their clinical work. Similar to other information technology implementations, smartphone use can result in unintended consequences.
