Questionbank: computer supported self-questioning

Self-questioning is a learning strategy that focuses on knowledge acquisition and concept comprehension by the learner generating questions. This paper describes the development of an internet-based application that supports self-questioning, referred to as Questionbank, and presents a case study of its implementation, and an evaluation. The findings in this paper suggest that Questionbank is a very useful tool to support self-questioning, but that the system in itself is not sufficient to improve the learning experience of students. Additional instructional measures for this are suggested.
