McHugh, Douglas; Feinn, Richard; McIlvenna, Jeff; Trevithick, Matt – Education Sciences, 2021
Learner-centered coaching and feedback are relevant to various educational contexts. Spaced retrieval enhances long-term knowledge retention. We examined the efficacy of Blank Slate, a novel spaced retrieval software application, to promote learning and prevent forgetting, while gathering and analyzing data in the background about learners'…

Kerr, John; Dale, Vicki H. M.; Gyurko, Fanni – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2019
With the increasing strategic importance of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) in higher education, this paper offers an innovative approach to advancing discussions and practice around MOOC learning design, in the context of staff development. The study provides a deeper understanding of staff (academic and learning technologists') experience…

Taleyarkhan, Manaz; Dasgupta, Chandan; Garcia, John Mendoza; Magana, Alejandra J. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2018
Engineering design thinking is hard to teach and still harder to learn by novices primarily due to the undetermined nature of engineering problems that often results in multiple solutions. In this paper, we investigate the effect of teaching engineering design thinking to freshmen students by using a computer-aided Design (CAD) simulation…

McEneaney, John E. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
Instructional technologies critically depend on systematic design, and learning hierarchies are a commonly advocated tool for designing instructional sequences. But hierarchies routinely allow numerous sequences and choosing an optimal sequence remains an unsolved problem. This study explores a simulation-based approach to modeling learning…

Song, Donggil – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of sequencing instructional materials and learners' prior knowledge on learning ESL (English as a second language) through an online learning course. 121 fifth-grade students from an elementary school in Korea participated in the study. Each participant was allocated to one cell of a 2 × 2…

Pregot, Michael V. – Online Submission, 2013
This study of empirical research investigates four specific questions on blended instruction: Is there compatibility of blended instruction with accepted learning constructs? Should there be any consideration of program audience that are better suited for this teaching method? and Is there evidence on the effectiveness of the pedagogy of blended…

Huang, Yong-Ming – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2015
The use of collaborative technologies in learning has received considerable attention in recent years, but few studies to date have examined the factors that affect sequential and global learners' intention to use such technologies. Previous studies have shown that the learners of different learning styles have different needs for educational…

Hatsidimitris, George; Kalyuga, Slava – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
Learning with instructional animations may overstretch limited working memory resources due to intense processing demands associated with transient information. The authors investigated whether explicit instructional advice coupled with a task-specific learner control mechanism (such as a timeline scrollbar) could facilitate the successful…

Roberts, Stephanie; Conn, Cynthia; Lohr, Linda; Hunt, Erin; Duffy, Annmari – TechTrends, 2003
Presents a meta-model of instructional design (ID) that integrates content covered in instructional technology graduate programs and explores the impact of an instructional designer's perspective on designs. Discusses the theoretical background; instructional strategies; educational philosophies; paradigm shifts; behaviorist, constructivist, and…

Klebl, Michael – Educational Technology & Society, 2006
Starting from the first public draft of IMS Learning Design in November 2002, a research project at the Catholic University Eichstaett-Ingolstadt in Germany was dedicated to the conceptual examination and empirical review of IMS Learning Design Level A. A prototypical runtime environment called "lab005" was developed. It was built based…

Bailey, Chris; Zalfan, Mohd T.; Davis, Hugh C.; Fill, Karen; Conole, Grainne – Educational Technology & Society, 2006
Tools to support teachers and learning technologists in the creation of effective learning designs are currently in their infancy. This paper describes a metadata model, devised to assist in the conception and design of new learning activities, that has been developed, used and evaluated over a period of three years. The online tool that embodies…
