Miller, Charles; Doering, Aaron; Scharber, Cassandra – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2010
In this paper we challenge designers, researchers, teachers, students, and parents to re-assess and re-envision the value of technology-mediated feedback and e-assessment by examining the innovative roles feedback and assessment played in the design of three contemporary web-based learning environments. These environments include 1) an…

Adams, W.; Reid, S.; LeMaster, R.; McKagan, S.; Perkins, K.; Dubson, M.; Wieman, C. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2008
Interactive computer simulations with complex representations and sophisticated graphics are a relatively new addition to the classroom, and research in this area is limited. We have conducted over 200 individual student interviews during which the students described what they were thinking as they interacted with simulations. These interviews…

Masters, Jessica; Madhyastha, Tara; Shakouri, Ali – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2008
ExplaNet is a web-based, anonymous, asynchronous explanation-sharing network. Instructors post questions to the network and students submit explanatory answers. Students then view and rank the explanations submitted by their peers before optionally resubmitting a final and revised answer. Three classroom evaluations of ExplaNet showed that by…
