The main purpose of this study was to provide instructional suggestions for supporting science learning in digital environments based on a review of eye tracking studies in e-learning related areas. Thirty-three eye-tracking studies from 2005 to 2014 were selected from the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) database for review. Through a…

This paper, presented at a symposium on computer-based instructional systems, discusses innovations in the TICCIT computer-based instructional system. Specific issues addressed include innovations in the system's authoring languages, integration of videodisc technology, instructional management systems, creation of color computer graphics using a…

This report reviews the literature on instructional graphics and implications of the findings in terms of graphic displays for computer assisted instruction. It was concluded that assumptions about the inherent value of graphics for instructional purposes are unsubstantiated by empirical evidence, and the conditions under which the use of graphics…

Reviews literature on computer-based training in industry over 20 years. Studies reviewed are organized by training application into three groups--basic computer-assisted instruction systems, supplemented computer-assisted instruction with simulation and graphics modes, and simulators. Time savings, user attitudes, cost savings, and performance…

Graphical methods for displaying data, as well as available computer software and hardware, are reviewed. The authors have emphasized the types of graphs which are most relevant to the needs of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and its readers. The following types of graphs are described: tabulations, stem-and-leaf displays,…

Research that has been conducted relating to the use of graphics and how various design variables interact with graphics in influencing the process of learning within individuals is explored. Research directions and approaches that may provide enhanced guidelines for integrating graphics into future interactive learning environments are described.…

Presents findings from a literature review on interactive videodisc technology, interactive videodisc-based training, computer-assisted instruction, and their translations into effective instructional applications. Issues in educational development and application, guidelines for using graphics and other video effects, instructor and student…

Discusses three issues pertaining to the use of interactive graphic hardware and software in schools: (1) computer graphic production processes; (2) the social dynamics of computer graphics production in school; and (3) the qualities of imagery. Concludes that art educators must consider what particular art concepts could and should be taught…

A brief review of the history of computer-assisted instruction and discussion of the current and potential roles of microcomputers in education introduce this review of the capabilities of state-of-the-art microcomputers and currently available software for them, and some speculations about future trends and developments. A survey of current…
