Teo, Timothy; Dai, Hai Min – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
The current research aims to address the concern of high attrition rate in MOOCs via exploring factors underlying learners' acceptance of MOOCs. Despite the plethora of studies on technology acceptance, few have discussed the role of time in technology acceptance. Given that time was reported as an important factor influencing learners' decision…

Loeffler, Jonna; Raab, Markus; Cañal-Bruland, Rouwen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Embodied Cognition approaches suggest that movements influence the understanding of abstract concepts such as time. It follows that moving the arms as watch hands should boost children's learning to read the clock. In a school setting, we compared three learning conditions: an embodied (movement) condition, an interactive App condition, and a text…

Bian Wu; Xinyu Chang; Yiling Hu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Recent years have seen an increase number of studies on spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) in education.However, the impact of SVVR on learning performance remains unclear and cannot be simply generalized from traditional VR-based education. The purpose of this study was to examine the overall effects of SVVR on cognitive and…

Yeh, Shih-Ching; Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Wang, Jin-Liang; Zhan, Shi-Yi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2013
This study intends to investigate how multi-symbolic representations (text, digits, and colors) could effectively enhance the completion of co-located/distant collaborative work in a virtual reality context. Participants' perceptions and behaviors were also studied. A haptics-enhanced virtual reality task was developed to conduct…

Verpoorten, Dominique; Westera, Wim – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
The purpose of this article is to gain an insight into the effects of practicing short, frequent, and structured reflection breaks interspersed with the learning material in a computer-based course. To that end, the study sets up a standardized control trial with two groups of secondary school pupils. The study shows that while performance is not…

Akyol, Zehra; Vaughan, Norm; Garrison, D. Randy – Interactive Learning Environments, 2011
This study investigated the effect of time on the development of a community of inquiry by examining an online course offered over two different time periods. The study was guided by the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, "The Internet and Higher Education" 2000; 2(2-3): 87-105). The focus was on a graduate level…
