SPARK(PLUS) is a powerful e-learning tool developed through evidence-based research. It uses a common interface to facilitate a wide variety of individual and collaborative assessment and learning activities providing a unique combination of functionality, features and flexibility to allow instructors to create innovative learning oriented assessments. This paper will focus on two examples where SPARK(PLUS) has been used to improve both student learning and their learning experience. The first will describe the combination of out of class pre-work and collaborative classwork in a flipped classroom environment. The second will describe self and peer assessment of students' contribution to group projects.
