Min Young Doo; Meina Zhu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Online learning has become more prevalent over the past three decades, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Educators and scholars have increasingly emphasized the significance of self-directed learning (SDL) on successful learning outcomes in online learning environments. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to synthesize the…

Eleni Dermentzi – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Degree apprenticeships (DA) help employees gain new knowledge and skills by allowing them to study towards a university degree while working full time. For these programmes to be effective, the learning design should be adapted to the needs of these students, who are goal oriented (i.e. they want to gain only knowledge that can be…

Andersen, Martin S.; Makransky, Guido – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Measuring cognitive load is important in virtual learning environments (VLE). Thus, valid and reliable measures of cognitive load are important to support instructional design in VLE. Through three studies, we investigated the validity and reliability of Leppink's Cognitive Load Scale (CLS) and developed the extraneous cognitive load (EL)…

Parong, Jocelyn; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
As immersive virtual reality (IVR) systems proliferate in classrooms, it is important to understand how they affect learning outcomes and the underlying affective and cognitive processes that may cause these outcomes. Proponents argue that IVR could improve learning by increasing positive affective and cognitive processing, thereby supporting…

McKenna, Brigid A.; Kopittke, Peter M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Quantifying student engagement with online learning resources on virtual learning environments such as BlackBoard is important in understanding how these technologies enhance the student learning. In the present study, it was examined when, and how often, first-year students accessed lecture recordings, lecture slides, and lecture notes via…

Baker, R. S.; Clarke-Midura, J.; Ocumpaugh, J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
Recent interest in online assessment of scientific inquiry has led to several new online systems that attempt to assess these skills, but producing models that detect when students are successfully practising these skills can be challenging. In this paper, we study models that assess student inquiry in an immersive virtual environment, where a…

Sobocan, M.; Klemenc-Ketis, Z. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
An increasing number of virtual patients (VPs) are being used in the classroom, which raises questions about how to implement VPs to improve students' satisfaction and enhance their learning. This study developed and validated a scale that measures acceptability and attitudes of medical students towards the use of the VP education tool in the…
