Collaboration Modality, Cognitive Load, and Science Inquiry Learning in Virtual Inquiry Environments
Erlandson, Benjamin E.; Nelson, Brian C.; Savenye, Wilhelmina C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
Educational multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) have been shown to be effective platforms for situated science inquiry curricula. While researchers find MUVEs to be supportive of collaborative scientific inquiry processes, the complex mix of multi-modal messages present in MUVEs can lead to cognitive overload, with learners unable to…
