Peer reviewedEngland, Elaine – Computers and Education, 1984
Discusses two factors to consider in relation to the use of color and the design of computerized instructional materials: the purpose of using color in instruction and how the microcomputer, with its limitations, affects color use. Principles for the use of color are suggested. (Author/MBR)

Kerr, Stephen T. – 1987
This examination of the effectiveness of various methods of cuing users to their location in a videotex information system used five different versions of an electronic edition of a college catalog: "simple" (no cues), "headers" (textual cues), "color" (color cues), "icons" (graphic cues), and…

El-Gazzar, Abdel-Latif I. – 1984
The relative effectiveness of digital versus photographic images was examined with 96 college students as subjects. A 2x2 balanced factorial design was employed to test eight hypotheses. The four groups were (1) digitized black and white; (2) digitized pseudocolor; (3) photographic black and white; and (4) photographic realistic color. Findings…

Peer reviewedMarschalek, Douglas G. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1988
Describes study of children in grades one, three, and five that examined their active processing and short term memory (STM) of color, contour, and interior pattern of shapes found in computer digitized pictures. Age-related differences are examined, and the role of processing visual information in the learning process is discussed. (12…

Baek, Young K.; Layne, Benjamin H. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1988
Describes study of high school students that was designed to determine the relative effectiveness of color, graphics, and animation in computer assisted learning (CAL) of a mathematical rule. Three CAL modes, in color and in black and white, are compared; pretests and posttests are explained; and further research needs are suggested. (13…

Baker, Patti R.; And Others – 1986
A study was conducted to investigate the comprehensibility of microcomputer-generated color graphics that are displayed on monochromatic monitors. Subjects were 64 second, third, and fourth graders who were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. Children in the first treatment were asked to identify, on a monochrome monitor, a figure that was…
