This is a list of the studies done with ASSISTments that did not involve any outside researchers (Basically studies done by Heffernan and his students). Heffernan has largely moved on to instead work with external researchers to test their ideas, which is why the newest paper here is from 2014.
To see the list of studies done later, when Heffernan started working with other researchers to test their ideas, go here.

Comparing experimental conditions that give feedback with control conditions that represent "business as usual" where students don't get feedback until the next day.
Showing that ASSISTments Closes Achievement Gaps (between with lower achieving student and higher achieving students).
Comparing hints versus step-by-step scaffolding questions, versus solution, versus worked examples.
Comparing worked examples to step-by-step feedback
Comparing different videos intended for motivational benefits
Comparing connecting with parents versus a control
Comparing different instructional approaches
