Research question:
Which learning objects do students prefer and use the most?
Which learning objects that students were most satisfied with?
Which learning objects had the most impact on students’ learning?

Methods:
Weekly surveys about the courses. Students were asked whether they used each of learning objects (PPT, Text, Video lectures, homework, discussions, and quizzes), and how much they felt that each one contributed to the learning of the weeks’ course materials. The final survey allowed students to rate each LO and evaluate the overall course.

I didn't see they compared the student learning achievement and the LO they used. But are they related? will different LOs influence student's learning success? Different LOs may contain diverse key content related to the exams, quizzes, or discussion board.
