Abstract: An electronic performance support system (EPSS) is a computer-based environment that can be used to augment and enhance an individual's performance in a particular skill domain. In addition, an EPSS can facilitate skill and knowledge acquisition. Our ongoing research programme in this area has been investigating the potential utility of EPSS methods within a range of different domains. This current paper describes an application of the technique within the domain of quantitative research methods as taught within a psychology degree course. It outlines and discusses the results of an evaluative study of a prototype EPSS tool that has been created to facilitate the learning of psychological research methods.
