Correlation of online assessment parameters with summative exam performance in undergraduate medical education of pharmacology: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Learning analytics aims to improve learning outcomes through the systematic measurement and analysis of learning-related data. However, which parameters have the highest predictive power for academic performance remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of different online assessment parameters with summative exam performance in undergraduate medical education of pharmacology. METHODS:A prospective study was conducted with a cohort of undergraduate medical students enrolled in a pharmacology course at Technical University of Munich, Germany.
