Jason D. Bader; Norm Friesen; Patrick R. Lowenthal; Chareen Snelson – Quarterly Review of Distance Education, 2024
Research has illustrated the role visual design plays in effective communication and instruction. However, more research has yet to investigate how online course designers (i.e., anyone who designs online courses) add visual appeal to online courses. This study explored the visual design process in online course development. It examines how…

Soonri Choi; Dongsik Kim; Jihoon Song – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Despite the efforts of instructional design (ID) to solve real-life problems, it remains challenging to adapt and be flexible in such situations. In particular, problems that require simultaneous knowledge of multiple domains and contexts are more challenging to solve because real-life problems do not reconstruct the learned experience. This is…

Giulia Cosentino; Jacqueline Anton; Kshitij Sharma; Mirko Gelsomini; Michail Giannakos; Dor Abrahamson – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
As AI increasingly enters classrooms, educational designers have begun investigating students' learning processes vis-à-vis simultaneous feedback from active sources--AI and the teacher. Nevertheless, there is a need to delve into a more comprehensive understanding of the orchestration of interactions between teachers and AI systems in educational…

Albert Weideman – Educational Linguistics, 2024
The concepts of technical feeling, perception, awareness, experience, consciousness and memory play a prominent role in those analogical moments within the technical aspect deriving from the sensitive dimension of our experience. These notions involve subjective technical sensitivities and feelings, belonging to the factual side of the technical…

Onur Dönmez; Yavuz Akbulut; Gözde Zabzun; Berrin Köseoglu – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
This study investigates the effect of survey order in measuring self-reported cognitive load. Understanding how survey order influences responses is crucial, but it has been largely overlooked in the context of cognitive load. Using a 2 × 2 experimental design with 319 high school students, the study manipulated intrinsic cognitive load (ICL)…

Kirk St.Amant – Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, 2024
The usability of items is connected to cognition, or how the brain processes information. Many of the related processes occur subconsciously and are guided by the mental models individuals have created based on their experiences. The better communication professional and communication students understand such dynamics, the more effectively they…

Dennis A. Rivera; Mariane Frenay; Valérie Swaen – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2024
Social constructivism emphasises the role of meaningful interactions as a vehicle for learning. Meaningful interactions engage learners cognitively and socially with others to construct knowledge. Such interactions, however, require an environment specially designed to facilitate and guide learners' cognitive and social processes towards the…

Shannon M. Clancy; Laura R. Murphy; Shanna R. Daly; Colleen M. Seifert – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Engineering designers often generate multiple concepts to increase novelty and diversity among early solution candidates. Many past studies have focused on creating new concepts "from scratch;" however, designers at every level become fixated on their initial designs and struggle to generate different ideas. In line with prior work on…

Daiana Wheeler – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The purpose of this phenomenological study is to investigate the impact of instructional design elements on cognitive load for adult neurodiverse learners in online learning environments. For the utility of this study, cognitive load will be generally defined as the working memory and mental resources needed to perform a task. This study is…

Jennifer Araiza – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Schools, institutionally designed to formalize education, often leave individuals longing for something more. Multiple disciplines attribute the pursuit of something more to transformation. While a common discussion in academic literature, transformation is underdeveloped in education. This dissertation explored transformational education from a…

Anne Fensie; Teri St. Pierre; Jennifer Jain; Asli Sezen-Barrie – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2024
Adult learners are a significant proportion of distance learners and many of these students are working mothers. Several instructional design models center the learner, and this requires understanding the learner needs, strengths, and context. There is a gap in the literature describing the experience of modern working mother students in distance…

Wang, Wei-Tsong; Kartika Sari, Mega – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
The designs of gamification platforms are diverse and constantly evolving. Excessive use of various game mechanisms in learning platforms can distract from the learning process. However, the fit of game mechanisms is still uncertain. Thus, this study investigates the effect of achieving fit when implementing game mechanisms on learning outcomes by…

Kailiang Chen; Juanjuan Chen; Yuwei Sun; Guorui Yan – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
Understanding and supporting pre-service teachers' creativity in collaborative instructional design has gained increasing attention. To design novel and effective learning experiences or activities for students, they need to build empathy with students, that is, understanding students' learning needs. This study aimed to (1) explore the patterns…

Irina Shcheglova; Jamie Costley; Elena Gorbunova; Christopher Lange – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2025
Although satisfaction with academic experience in the context of higher education has been an area of research for nearly 40 years, it is still unclear how pedagogical practices in the development of thinking skills are related to students' satisfaction. This study aims to investigate the relationships between students' satisfaction and the levels…
