de Beer, Huub; Gravemeijer, Koeno; van Eijck, Michiel – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
To prepare students for participation in our society, where interpreting, representing, and manipulating of dynamic phenomena are becoming key activities, we believe that one should start developing a mathematical understanding of change at an early age. We therefore started a design research project to teach the concept of instantaneous speed in…

Yoon, Susan A.; Wang, Joyce – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2014
Despite the potential of augmented reality (AR) in enabling students to construct new understanding, little is known about how the processes and interactions with the multimedia lead to increased learning. This study seeks to explore the affordances of an AR tool on learning that is focused on the science concept of magnets and magnetic fields.…

Lee, Soojeong – Educational Technology & Society, 2013
The purpose of this study is to search for any difference in self-expression of Second Life residents with different levels of shyness. For this purpose, we used sixty students from two fifth-grade elementary school classes. Thirty students were assigned to the high shyness group and the rest to the low shyness group. Each group completed pre- and…

Lin, Chi-Syan; Chou, C. Candace; Kuo, Ming-Shiou – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2007
The paper outlines a new paradigm and its underlying rationales for implementing networked learning environments that is emerging from new technologies such as multi-user platform, virtual worlds, virtual learning community, and intelligent agents. The proposed paradigm of the networked learning environments is described as inhabited virtual…
