It is designed to drive student engagement and increase student confidence through reinforcing learning and increasing retention, ultimately leading to higher student graduation numbers.
There is plenty of evidence that technology can enhance students’ learning, particularly when they use the technology directly.

The introduction of Peer-to-Peer Skills Development at the University of Massachusetts Boston enabled students to practice with each other to build their competence and confidence in clinical skills. This opportunity allowed them to train over and over again until they were confident they had mastered both the required clinical and communication skills resulting in a significant improvement in their first time skills check pass rates.
