Online learning platforms can provide automatic instant feedback on students' activities with formative assessment tasks such as homework assignments. However, the various ways that students interact with feedback features add to the uncertainty of the effectiveness of automatic immediate feedback on student learning. We study student behavioral patterns with an instant feedback feature: “checkable answers,” powered by the edX learning platform. We show how these behavioral patterns are related to student course performance and other factors such as self-efficacy and student perceptions of the utility of the course for their future.
