Pairing Practice and Feedback with Animations Optimizes Student Learning in Online Module
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Brasier, Daniel J.; Melville, Michael; Hershock, Chad; Rule, Gordon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
In this study, we investigated the optimal placement of animations and practice and feedback exercises with respect to each other and to static text and graphics in an online DNA replication module. We randomly assigned students in a first-semester introductory biology course for freshmen biology majors and nonmajors to one of four online modules…

Using Eye Movements to Model the Sequence of Text-Picture Processing for Multimedia Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mason, L.; Scheiter, K.; Tornatora, M. C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
This study used eye movement modeling examples (EMME) to support students' integrative processing of verbal and graphical information during the reading of an illustrated text. EMME consists of a replay of eye movements of a model superimposed onto the materials that are processed for accomplishing the task. Specifically, the study investigated…

Using Augmented Reality to Support a Software Editing Course for College Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Y.-H. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
This study aimed to explore whether integrating augmented reality (AR) techniques could support a software editing course and to examine the different learning effects for students using online-based and AR-based blended learning strategies. The researcher adopted a comparative research approach with a total of 103 college students participating…

Response Evaluation in Computer Based Tutorials.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smyth, Timothy – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1987
Describes a computer program that allows undergraduate students to undertake nomenclature tutorials in organic chemistry, where user response is evaluated based on a set of rules that determine appropriate feedback. Design of the software is described, including the use of computer graphics, and results of students' evaluations are briefly…

The Effects of Graphical Overviews on Knowledge Acquisition in Hypertext.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
de Jong, Ton; van der Hulst, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2002
Describes a study of undergraduates that enhanced a hypertext environment with a graphical overview that represented the basic domain structure and designed the layout so learners were unobtrusively encouraged to follow a sequence of exploration that followed the domain structure. Results indicated that a visual display conveys knowledge in its…

Formats and Prior Knowledge on Learning in a Computer-Based Lesson.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
ChanLin, Lih-Juan – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2001
Investigated the effects of presentation format (animation, still graphics, text) and the students' prior knowledge on learning a computer-based physics lesson in grades eight and nine. Results of an analysis of covariance indicated that specific presentation formats are not equally effective for the different prior knowledge groups. (Author/LRW)
