Abstract :
The MasteringChemistry® is one of the most useful and widely used online tutorial, homework, and assessment system for the science courses. When using MasteringChemistry®, students remain engaged in learning. They use it more than other available assistive-learning technologies, and value it as much as face to face tutoring. The aim of this work is to investigate the efficiency of MasteringChemistry® in teaching Biochemistry course for nursing students at the College of Health Sciences- University of Bahrain. When using MasteringChemistry® we have noticed a significant increase in the percentage of students´ final grades, especially those with A´s. Students also perceived MasteringChemistry® as one of the best factors that had the greatest impact on their success in the course.
