The upper part of the table 3 shows the students ranking, time spent, with inter quartile range (IQR). The lower part results in user - non user from the individual modules divided into learning style. *A user in the Learning content module was defined as a student who logged on for at least 20 min in that specific module. **A user in the Self-assessment questions module was defined as a student who logged on for at least 10 min in that specific module. ***A user in the Interactive ECG interpretation module was defined as a student who logged on for at least 20 min in that specific module.
