Lin, Li-Fen; Hsu, Ying-Shao; Yeh, Yi-Fen – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2012
Several researchers have investigated the effects of computer simulations on students' learning. However, few have focused on how simulations with authentic contexts influences students' inquiry skills. Therefore, for the purposes of this study, we developed a computer simulation (FossilSim) embedded in an authentic inquiry lesson. FossilSim…

Johnson-Glenberg, Mina C.; Birchfield, David; Usyal, Sibel – Educational Media International, 2009
We present a new and innovative interface that allows the learner's body to move freely in a multimodal learning environment. The Situated Multimedia Arts Learning Laboratory ("SMALLab") uses 3D object tracking, real time graphics, and surround-sound to enhance embodied learning. Our hypothesis is that optimal learning and retention occur when…
