Lin, Huifen; Dwyer, Francis M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
This study investigated the effectiveness of three different levels of enhancement strategies utilized to facilitate students' learning from static and animated visualization when taking the time-on-task into consideration. Participants were randomly assigned to six treatment groups, and then took four criterion measures. The time-on-task was…

Munyofu, Mine; Swain, William J.; Ausman, Bradley D.; Lin, Huifen; Kidwai, Khusro; Dwyer, Francis – Learning, Media and Technology, 2007
The purpose of this exploratory and small-scale study was to examine the instructional effects of different chunking strategies used to complement animated instruction in terms of facilitating achievement of higher order learning objectives. Eighty-five students were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: animated program instruction, simple…

The use of animation and audio as a virtual panacea for everything from advertising to educational videos and instruction has created the presumption that any materials that use them 'must be better!' Now doubt that the addition of animation can improve message delivery on a number of scales, but the use of animation regardless of message and with…

Lin, Huifen; Chen, Tsuiping – Language Learning & Technology, 2007
The purpose of this experimental study was to compare the effects of different types of computer-generated visuals (static versus animated) and advance organizers (descriptive versus question) in enhancing comprehension and retention of a content-based lesson for learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Additionally, the study investigated…

Kidwai, Khusro; Munyofu, Mine; Swain, William J; Ausman, Bradley D.; Lin, Huifen; Dwyer, Francis – Association for Educational Communications and Technology, 2001
Animation is being used extensively for instructional purposes; however, it has not been found to be effective on measures of higher order learning (concepts, rules, procedures) within the knowledge acquisition and knowledge integration domains. The purpose of this study was to examine the instructional effectiveness of two visual scaffolding…

Swain, Jeff; Munyofu, Mine; Kidwai, Khusro; Lin, Huifen; Ausman, Bradley; Dwyer, Francis – Association for Educational Communications and Technology, 2004
The purpose of this study was to test the principle of modality by using audio to deliver verbal information when that information is designed to support non-verbal information such as animations in a computer-based lesson. This was done by comparing the effect of two types of audio support mechanisms- a simple support mechanism consisting of…

Lin, Huifen; Chen, Tsuiping; Dwyer, Francis M. – Foreign Language Annals, 2006
The purpose of this experimental study was to compare the effects of using static visuals versus computer-generated animation to enhance learners' comprehension and retention of a content-based lesson in a computer-based learning environment for learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Fifty-eight students from two EFL reading sections were…
