Koc-Januchta, Marta M.; Höffler, Tim N.; Prechtl, Helmut; Leutner, Detlev – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of visual/verbal cognitive style and interactivity level in dynamic and non-dynamic multimedia learning environments. A group of 235 biology students learned about photosynthesis either from a computer-based animation or a series of static pictures with spoken explanatory text. Participants were…

Ghauth, Khairil Imran; Abdullah, Nor Aniza – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
The enormity of the amount of learning materials in e-learning has led to the difficulty of locating suitable learning materials for a particular learning topic, creating the need for recommendation tools within a learning context. In this paper, we aim to address this need by proposing a novel e-learning recommender system framework that is based…

Lin, Huifen; Dwyer, Francis M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
This study investigated the effectiveness of three different levels of enhancement strategies utilized to facilitate students' learning from static and animated visualization when taking the time-on-task into consideration. Participants were randomly assigned to six treatment groups, and then took four criterion measures. The time-on-task was…

Schnotz, Wolfgang; Rasch, Thorsten – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2005
New technologies allow the display of text, static visuals, and animations. Although animations are inherently attractive, they are not always beneficial for learning. Problems may arise especially when animations modify the learner's cognitive load in an unintended way. In two learning experiments with 40 and 26 university students, the effects…
