Direct linkSimpson, G.; Hoyles, C.; Noss, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
In this paper, we give a detailed account of the design principles and construction of activities designed for learning about the relationships between position, velocity and acceleration, and corresponding kinematics graphs. Our approach is model-based, that is, it focuses attention on the idea that students constructed their own models--in the…

Peer reviewedMcKendree, J.; Stenning, K.; Mayes, T.; Lee, J.; Cox, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1998
Describes the Vicarious Learner Project, a project which investigates the fundamental role of dialog for learning, specifically the benefits to learners of being able to observe others participating in discussion. Theoretical aspects of the work, a high-level process model of learning, and a more detailed logic model of what happens in educational…
