The main reasons for statistics educators to not use ARTIST are time and misconceptions about what ARTIST has to offer. Because of the evaluation, several non-users became more aware of goal of ARTIST and started using ARTIST since. • Educational impact: instructors are changing assessment practices but there is no impact yet on student outcomes because, so far, newly developed ideas have not been implemented by instructors.
