Blik, H.; Harskamp, E.G.; van Leeuwen, S.; Hoekstra, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
Intellectually disabled (ID) students in secondary education are often taught in an individual setting where video instruction is used. Especially, when the instruction is about complex assignments, many students may forget parts of it. In this study, we tried to find out if prompting ID students to explain video instruction would help them to…

Vreman-de Olde, C.; de Jong, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
This study examined the effect of scaffolding students who learned by designing assignments for a computer simulation on the physics topic of alternating circuits. We compared the students' assignments and the knowledge acquired in a scaffolded group (N = 23) and a non-scaffolded group (N = 19). The scaffold consisted of a Design Sheet that guided…
