Mayer, R. E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
This paper reviews 12 research-based principles for how to design computer-based multimedia instructional materials to promote academic learning, starting with the multimedia principle (yielding a median effect size of d = 1.67 based on five experimental comparisons), which holds that people learn better from computer-based instruction containing…

Looi, C. -K.; Lim, K. -S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
In the Singapore primary school Mathematics curriculum, students are taught the model method that uses bar diagrams to visualize the problem structure in a given word problem. When these students progress to secondary school, they learn the algebraic way of solving word problems. Studies (e.g. Ng et al.) have shown that poor bridging of students…

Yang, H.-J.; Lay, Y.-L.; Liou, Y.-C.; Tsao, W.-Y.; Lin, C.-K. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
A computer-assisted music-learning system (CAMLS) has been developed to help the hearing impaired practice playing a musical melody. The music-learning performance is evaluated to test the usability of the system. This system can be a computer-supported learning tool for the hearing impaired to help them understand what pitch and tempo are, and…

Specific Help Devices for Educational Hypermedia.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tricot, A.; Pierre-Demarcy, C.; El Boussarghini, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2000
Examines the issue of help devices for students in hypermedia environments according to the learning context and cognitive processes involved. Describes three main types of learning situations--learning-by-doing, learning-by-instruction, learning-by-exploring--and explores the main cognitive processes involved in them. Discusses specific types of…

Future Integrated Learning Environments with Multimedia.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Okamoto, T.; Cristea, A.; Kayama, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2001
Presents three trends in education separately: distance learning, ITS systems, and media-oriented learning. Benefits of their integration are considered along with the possible pitfalls and a short systematic approach on how to avoid them. In conclusion, some open questions in the field are discussed.
