Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
van Seters, J. R.; Ossevoort, M. A.; Tramper, J.; Goedhart, M. J. – Computers & Education, 2012
Adaptive e-learning materials can help teachers to educate heterogeneous student groups. This study provides empirical data about the way academic students differ in their learning when using adaptive e-learning materials. Ninety-four students participated in the study. We determined characteristics in a heterogeneous student group by collecting…

Content and Timing of Feedback in a Web-Based Learning Environment: Effects on Learning as a Function of Prior Knowledge
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smits, Marieke H. S. B.; Boon, Jo; Sluijsmans, Dominique M. A.; van Gog, Tamara – Interactive Learning Environments, 2008
This study investigated the effectiveness of different types of feedback content (elaborate versus global) and feedback timing (immediate versus delayed) for learning genetics in a web-based learning environment as a function of learners' prior knowledge. It was hypothesized that learning outcomes of students with low prior knowledge would be…

Does the Modality Principle for Multimedia Learning Apply to Science Classrooms?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Harskamp, Egbert G.; Mayer, Richard E.; Suhre, Cor – Learning and Instruction, 2007
This study demonstrated that the modality principle applies to multimedia learning of regular science lessons in school settings. In the first field experiment, 27 Dutch secondary school students (age 16-17) received a self-paced, web-based multimedia lesson in biology. Students who received lessons containing illustrations and narration performed…
