The author studied its use for this purpose with a lower division Introduction to Programming course and an upper division Probability and Statistics course. In the lower division course, {\it WeBWorK} significantly improved peer instruction performance, and resulted in students spending on average 45\% more time on reading their textbook. In the upper division course, {\it WeBWorK} had no effect. We discuss and conjecture explanations.}, msc2010 = {U55xx (D45xx C75xx)}, identifier = {2012c.00811}, }
