Özlem Gökçe Tekin – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the whole world, education in Turkey, as in foreign countries, has been carried out through e-learning and therefore through a screen. This pandemic has been a factor that has increased the time students spend with screens out of the lesson. Since screens have become an essential part of daily life, it is…

Cederqvist, A-M. – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Designing programmed technological solutions (PTS) with programming materials has become a way to contextualise educational content related to PTS and programming. However, studies show that pupils have difficulties conceptualising central phenomena involved in the process, which affects their ability to design PTS. In order to understand these…

Does Supporting Multiple Student Strategies Lead to Greater Learning and Motivation? Investigating a Source of Complexity in the Architecture of Intelligent Tutoring Systems
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Waalkens, Maaike; Aleven, Vincent; Taatgen, Niels – Computers & Education, 2013
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) support students in learning a complex problem-solving skill. One feature that makes an ITS architecturally complex, and hard to build, is support for strategy freedom, that is, the ability to let students pursue multiple solution strategies within a given problem. But does greater freedom mean that students…

Howard, A. M.; Park, Chung Hyuk; Remy, S. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
The robotics field represents the integration of multiple facets of computer science and engineering. Robotics-based activities have been shown to encourage K-12 students to consider careers in computing and have even been adopted as part of core computer-science curriculum at a number of universities. Unfortunately, for students with visual…

Managing Cognitive Load in Educational Multi-User Virtual Environments: Reflection on Design Practice
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nelson, Brian C.; Erlandson, Benjamin E. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
In this paper, we explore how the application of multimedia design principles may inform the development of educational multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs). We look at design principles that have been shown to help learners manage cognitive load within multimedia environments and conduct a conjectural analysis of the extent to which such…

Draw and Tell: Children as Designers of Web Interfaces.
Bilal, Dania – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
Using a participatory approach, 11 middle school children created paper prototypes for Web search engines. The prototypes were analyzed in relation to content-related spaces, specific spaces, general spaces, instruction spaces, and other spaces. Children's comments about the purposes of the interfaces were analyzed in terms of functionality and…
