April Murphy; Steve Ritter – Grantee Submission, 2022
Large-scale, classroom-based experiments using adaptive instructional software pose somewhat unique challenges for experimental design and deployment. One reason for this is that adaptive software allows students to advance through the curriculum at different rates and encounter content at different times, meaning that content targeted for…

Kaarakka, Terhi; Helkala, Kirsi; Valmari, Antti; Joutsenlahti, Marjukka – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2019
MathCheck is a relatively new online tool that gives students feedback on their solutions to elementary university mathematics and theoretical computer science exercises. MathCheck was designed with constructivism learning theory in mind and it differs from other online tools as it checks the solutions step by step and shows a counter-example if…

Wang, Xinghua; Kollar, Ingo; Stegmann, Karsten – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2017
Collaboration scripts have repeatedly been implemented in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) to facilitate collaboration processes and individual learning. However, finding the right degree of structure is a subtle design task: scripts that are too rigid may impair self-regulation and hinder learning; scripts that are too flexible…

Degens, Nick; Hofstede, Gert Jan; Beulens, Adrie; Krumhuber, Eva; Kappas, Arvid – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2016
Digital intercultural training tools play an important role in helping people to mediate cultural misunderstandings. In recent years, these tools were made to teach about specific cultures, but there has been little attention for the design of a tool to teach about differences across a wide range of cultures. In this work, we take the first steps…

Lado, Beatriz; Bowden, Harriet Wood; Stafford, Catherine; Sanz, Cristina – Hispania, 2017
Experience with a second language (L2) has been shown to facilitate learning of a third or subsequent language (L3) (Sanz 2000). However, little is known about how much L2 experience is needed before benefits for L3 development emerge, or about whether effects depend on type of L3 instruction. We report two experiments investigating initial…

Marefat, Hamideh; Rezaee, Abbas Ali; Naserieh, Farid – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2016
In recent years, gloss presentation format or the location where a gloss appears with respect to its related target word has received renewed attention. Research suggested that different gloss presentation formats could have differential effects on reading comprehension and/or vocabulary learning. This study hypothesized that the effectiveness of…
