Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of a digital tool on student performance in undergraduate history courses in a single semester of college. This study investigated the following question: Do students in classes that use the online instructional application show better performance in their course than a comparable group of students that do not use the online instructional application as part of the same course? The study employed a quasi-experimental pre-post, treatment-control group design. Using ANCOVA, we found that students in history courses that used the digital tool showed significantly higher grades than students in classes not using the digital tool. An effect size of.31 was found.
