An Evolving Learning Management System for New Educational Environments Using 2.0 Tools
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Conde, Miguel Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Rodríguez-Conde, María J.; Alier, Marc; Casany, María J.; Piguillem, Jordi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2014
The tools used in learning processes are in a continuous state of flux. One of the most significant changes is the application of Information and Communications technologies (ICTs) to educational contexts. This provides new possible ways to carry out learning activities, new learning services, the possibility to use new kinds of contents and…

Nogry, S.; Jean-Daubias, S.; Guin, N. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
This article deals with evaluating an interactive learning environment (ILE) during the iterative-design process. Various aspects of the system must be assessed and a number of evaluation methods are available. In designing the ILE Ambre-add, several techniques were combined to test and refine the system. In particular, we point out the merits of…

Supporting Collaborative Inquiry during a Biology Field Trip with Mobile Peer-to-Peer Tools for Learning: A Case Study with K-12 Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Laru, Jari; Jarvela, Sanna; Clariana, Roy B. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
This study explores how collaborative inquiry learning can be supported with multiple scaffolding agents in a real-life field trip context. In practice, a mobile peer-to-peer messaging tool provided meta-cognitive and procedural support, while tutors and a nature guide provided more dynamic scaffolding in order to support argumentative discussions…

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…

The Factors Influencing the Outcome of Solving Story Problems in a Web-Based Learning Environment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pedaste, M.; Sarapuu, T.; Outcomes of Education – Interactive Learning Environments, 2006
The aim of the present study was to investigate those factors influencing performance in solving story problems in a web-based environment. A situational simulation, "Hiking across Estonia," was explored by two samples of voluntary groups of students, comprising 65 and 50 groups, respectively. They solved 25 ecological and environmental story…

A Large-Scale Evaluation of an Intelligent Discovery World: Smithtown.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shute, Valerie J.; Glaser, Robert – Interactive Learning Environments, 1990
Presents an evaluation of "Smithtown," an intelligent tutoring system designed to teach inductive inquiry skills and principles of basic microeconomics. Two studies of individual differences in learning are described, including a comparison of knowledge acquisition with traditional instruction; hypotheses tested are discussed; and the…
