An instructor compares typical use of paper-based homework and Web-based homework using two different sections of general chemistry. Analysis of student performance data suggests that Web-based homework is as effective as paper-based homework for student learning. Time spent grading, recording, and returning paper-based homework is greatly reduced with a Web-based system, although initial use of the Web-system requires some time for setup. The Small Group Instruction Diagnosis (SGID) technique 1, 2 is used for collection of student affective data. Students appreciate the usefulness of both paper-based and Web-based homework as a preparation for quizzes and examinations. Advantages unique to typical use of Web-based homework include instantaneous feedback and ability to resubmit assignments.
