Santos, Vanda; Quaresma, Pedro; Maric, Milena; Campos, Helena – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
The role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education is well recognised--learning environments where the ICT features included are being proposed for many years now. The Web Geometry Laboratory (WGL) innovates in proposing a blended learning, collaborative and adaptive learning Web-environment for geometry. It integrates a…

South, Joseph B.; Gabbitas, Bruce; Merrill, Paul F. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2008
In this paper we discuss how the Brigham Young University Technology Assisted Language Learning Group (BYU TALL Group) develops video-based dramatic narratives to increase the amount of context we provide to English as a second language (ESL) learners. First, we discuss the problem of decontextualization in education, the contextualism…

Hulshof, Casper D.; de Jong, Ton – Interactive Learning Environments, 2006
Students encounter many obstacles during scientific discovery learning with computer-based simulations. It is hypothesized that an effective type of support, that does not interfere with the scientific discovery learning process, should be delivered on a "just-in-time" base. This study explores the effect of facilitating access to…

Schwarz, Baruch; Dreyfus, Tommy – Interactive Learning Environments, 1993
Describes a study which measured how ninth-grade students integrated information about mathematical concepts when working with Triple Representation Model software. Tables, graphs, and algebraic functions were linked, allowing students to manipulate several representations of the same concept. Examples of mathematical problems and student case…
