Garrett, Nathan – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Segmentation reduces learners' cognitive load by inserting system-controlled pauses into instructional animations and video. However, many previous studies focus on conceptual knowledge, and do not allow users control over the pacing of instruction. This two-part experiment attempted to validate segmentation in the context of procedural software…

Al-Sakkaf, Abdullah; Omar, Mazni; Ahmad, Mazida – Computer Science Education, 2019
Background and Context: In spite of the decades spent developing software visualization (SV), doubts still remain regarding their effectiveness. Furthermore, student engagement plays an important role in improving SV effectiveness as it is correlated with many positive academic outcomes. It has been shown that the existing SV has failed to engage…

Damnik, Gregor; Proske, Antje; Narciss, Susanne; Körndle, Hermann – Journal of Educational Research, 2013
Especially in the context of technology-enhanced informal learning, it is crucial to understand how to design information sources in such a way that learners are not overwhelmed by the demands of the learning process, but at the same time are engaged in higher order thinking processes. Guidance aids learners in dealing with the demands of a…

Dong, Jian-Jie; Hwang, Wu-Yuin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
This study developed a system using two-phased strategies called "Pause Lecture, Instant Tutor-Tutee Match, and Attention Zone" (PLITAZ). This system was used to help solve learning challenges and to minimize learning progress differences in a software learning class. During a teacher's lecture time, students were encouraged to anonymously express…

Chou, Chientzu Candace; Block, Lanise; Jesness, Renee – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
This study examines the impact of iPad integration on teaching and learning activities in a large school district in Midwest United States. Forty social studies classrooms received iPad carts to engage students in learning. Teachers received professional development opportunities in the forms of workshops, conferences, one-to-one coaching, and…

Ivanova, Malinka; Chatti, Mohamed Amine – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2011
The development of Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) is in the scope of research groups and educators aiming to propose suitable mechanisms for the organization of self-controlled and self-directed learning, providing students with tools and services for access to content and human intelligence inside and outside the educational institutions.…

Farag, Mohammed; Shemy, Nader – International Journal on E-Learning, 2011
This research describes a study that examined the influences of cognitive style (as assessed by the CSA- Riding 1991) and Learners' Prior Knowledge on student recall performance of the contents of online course presented via two navigational formats (linear sequential navigation version versus nonlinear free navigation version). The study was…

Greene, Jeffrey Alan; Bolick, Cheryl Mason; Robertson, Jane – Computers & Education, 2010
In this study, we examined how high-school students utilized a hypermedia learning environment (HLE) to acquire declarative knowledge of a historical topic, as well as historical thinking skills. In particular, we were interested in whether self-regulated learning (SRL; Winne & Hadwin, 1998; Zimmerman, 2000) processing was related to the…

Lewis, Colleen M. – Computer Science Education, 2011
This study investigates differences between collaboration methods in two summer enrichment classes for students entering the sixth grade. In one treatment, students used pair programming. In the other treatment, students engaged in frequent collaboration, but worked on their own computer. Students in the two treatments did not differ significantly…

Martin, Florence – Educational Technology & Society, 2008
Instructional elements remain the foundation of current instructional design practice. Practice is the instructional element provided after learners have been given information required to master an objective and Navigation is the non-instructional element guides the learner on the sequence of instruction. Linear Navigation can be referred to as…

Kelly, Declan – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2008
Within the field of technology enhanced learning, adaptive educational systems offer an advanced form of learning environment that attempts to meet the needs of different students. Such systems capture and represent, for each student, various characteristics such as knowledge and traits in an individual learner model. Subsequently, using the…

Parker, Angie – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1995
Addresses the need for a change to constructivistic education in a computer literacy course. It was determined that a constructivistic approach was needed that would allow students to "cut their puppet strings" and become independent thinkers who constructed personal knowledge of database software, the Internet, and higher-order thinking…

Rowley, Kurt; And Others – 1997
A study elaborated on the results of previous research on the effectiveness of the R-WISE (Reading and Writing in a Supportive Environment) software by examining the effects of the student factor of learner-control and the environmental factor of the teacher's preferred instructional style on student writing performance. R-WISE includes 3 specific…

Stanton, Neville; Baber, Chris – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 1992
This study investigated the cognitive style (field dependence/independence) and learning strategies of undergraduate students in learner-controlled computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Three learning strategies were identified, but it was concluded that cognitive styles and learning strategies may be the result of the computer software design,…

Jarvela, Sanna; Naykki, Piia; Laru, Jari; Luokkanen, Tiina – Educational Technology & Society, 2007
In our recent research we have explored possibilities to scaffold collaborative learning in higher education with wireless networks and mobile tools. The pedagogical ideas are grounded on concepts of collaborative learning, including the socially shared origin of cognition, as well as self-regulated learning theory. This paper presents our three…
