Trevors, Gregory; Duffy, Melissa; Azevedo, Roger – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
Hypermedia learning environments (HLE) unevenly present new challenges and opportunities to learning processes and outcomes depending on learner characteristics and instructional supports. In this experimental study, we examined how one such HLE--MetaTutor, an intelligent, multi-agent tutoring system designed to scaffold cognitive and…

Jonassen, David H. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
The purpose of this paper is to familiarize instructional designers and researchers with a useful design and research paradigm known as "Ask Systems." Ask Systems are interrogative interfaces to information and learning environments that model conversations with a skilled, reflective practitioner (Schon, The reflective practitioner, "1983") or…

Fostering Learners' Metacognitive Skills of Keyword Reformulation in Image Seeking by Location-Based Hierarchical Navigation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Liu, Ming-Chi; Huang, Yueh-Min; Kinshuk; Wen, Dunwei – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
It is critical that students learn how to retrieve useful information in hypermedia environments, a task that is often especially difficult when it comes to image retrieval, as little text feedback is given that allows them to reformulate keywords they need to use. This situation may make students feel disorientated while attempting image…

Hypermedia Design as Learner Scaffolding
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Shapiro, Amy M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
A number of available resources offer guidance about hypermedia design strategies, many of which rely on principles of user-centered design. Many recent efforts, however, have focused more on developing "learner-centered" hypermedia. Learner-centered hypermedia is designed to help learners achieve their educational goals, rather than offer mere…

Cognitive Strategies and Learning from the World Wide Web.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hill, Janette R.; Hannafin, Michael J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1997
Examines strategies used by adult learners in an open-ended hypermedia information system. Findings indicated: (1) a variety of strategies are used by learners; (2) self-reported knowledge appears to affect the strategies used; and (3) perceptions of disorientation and perceived self-efficacy influence strategies used.

Project-based Learning with the World Wide Web: A Qualitative Study of Resource Integration.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Land, Susan M.; Greene, Barbara A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2000
Describes a study of preservice teacher education students that investigated the process used by learners to seek, locate, and integrate information resources from the World Wide Web for use in a project-based environment. Discusses hypermedia systems; open-ended learning environments; the role of metacognitive, domain, and system knowledge; and…
