Junokas, M. J.; Lindgren, R.; Kang, J.; Morphew, J. W. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Gestural recognition systems are important tools for leveraging movement-based interactions in multimodal learning environments but personalizing these interactions has proven difficult. We offer an adaptable model that uses multimodal analytics, enabling students to define their physical interactions with computer-assisted learning environments.…

Yang, C.; Chang, Y. -S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2012
Blogs have been increasingly used to supplement traditional classroom lectures in higher education. This paper explores the use of blogs, and how student attitudes towards online peer interaction and peer learning, as well as motivation to learn from peers, may differ when using the blog comments feature, and when students are encouraged to read…

Darabi, A.; Arrastia, M. C.; Nelson, D. W.; Cornille, T.; Liang, X. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2011
Some scholars argue that students do not achieve higher level learning, or cognitive presence, in online courses. Online discussion has been proposed to bridge this gap between online and face-to-face learning environments. However, the literature indicates that the conventional approach to online discussion--asking probing questions--does not…

Yuan, Y.; Lee, C. -Y.; Wang, C. -H. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2010
This study develops virtual manipulative, polyominoes kits for junior high school students to explore polyominoes. The current work conducts a non-equivalent group pretest-post-test quasi-experimental design to compare the performance difference between using physical manipulatives and virtual manipulatives in finding the number of polyominoes.…

de Freitas, S.; Oliver, M.; Mee, A.; Mayes, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
The promotion of e-learning in policies internationally has led to questions about how best to employ technology in support of learning. A range of models has since been developed that attempts to relate pedagogy to technology. However, research into the effectiveness of such models in changing teaching practice is sparse, and work that compares…

Gu, X.; Zhang, B.; Lin, X.; Song, X. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
This paper describes and assesses the development of an online solution for the experiential support of distance learning by teachers. Three hundred and forty-eight randomly selected K-12 teachers participated in this pilot study using the online learning environment designed in this research. Teachers' products, surveys, and interviews were…

Horne, J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
Abstract Research has demonstrated girls outperform boys on conventional literacy tests. The present studies concern gender differences on computerised educational tests. Seventy-one children were tested using LASS Secondary and a set of seven conventional measures. No significant gender differences were found on any of the LASS Secondary modules,…

Davidson, J. K.; Elliot, D. L. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
This paper investigates and compares the utilization of online resources to support teaching and learning in two different educational sectors with overlapping student groups in Scotland: secondary schools and further education (FE) colleges. The online "Core Skills" materials included Numeracy, Communication, Information Technology…

White, Alison; Easterbrook, S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1993
Describes an online dictionary environment for children called DICTOFUN where words are accessed via their meaning as well as by alphabetical entry. Highlights include the use of HyperCard; concept hierarchies; comparisons with related systems; and experiments with 7-, 8-, and 14-year olds. (Contains 12 references.) (LRW)

Fund, Z. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
This study examined the effect of scaffolding learning components in a computerized environment, for students solving qualitative science problems in a simulation of laboratory experiments. Four scaffolding components were identified (structural, reflective, subject-matter and enrichment) and used in different configurations to construct four…

Thornton, Patricia; Houser, Chris – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2005
We present three studies in mobile learning. First, we polled 333 Japanese university students regarding their use of mobile devices. One hundred percent reported owning a mobile phone. Ninety-nine percent send e-mail on their mobile phones, exchanging some 200 e-mail messages each week. Sixty-six percent e-mail peers about classes; 44% e-mail for…

Korat, Ofra; Shamir, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
We compared the effects of children's reading of an educational electronic storybook on their emergent literacy with those of being read the same story in its printed version by an adult. We investigated 128 5- to 6-year-old kindergarteners; 64 children from each of two socio-economic status (SES) groups: low (LSES) and middle (MSES). In each…

Hummel, Hans G. K.; Paas, Fred; Koper, E. J. R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2004
We investigate the effects of cueing, in a multimedia programme for the individualized training of the whole task to prepare a plea, on the learning outcomes of 43 sophomore law students. The cueing formats of worked-out examples (WOEs), process worksheets (PWs), and both WOE and PW are compared to a no-cueing control condition. Our hypotheses…

Harrison, Colin; Lunzer, Eric A.; Tymms, Peter; Fitz-Gibbon, Carol Taylor; Restorick, Jane – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2004
This paper reports a previously unpublished comparative analysis of data from the ImpaCT2 study investigating the relationship between students' performance in England on national tests and their reported use of information technology (particularly networked technology) for school work, at three age levels (11, 14 and 16), in English, Maths and…
