Exploring the Effects of Seductive Details and Illustration Dynamics on Young Children's Performance in an Origami Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tiphaine Colliot; Jean-Michel Boucheix – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Previous studies have shown that dynamic illustrations, as compared to their static counterparts, lead to higher achievement levels, especially for hand-based procedures. Other researchers have investigated how the presence of seductive details (i.e., appealing but irrelevant adjunct displays) influences students' interest positively…

Brasier, Daniel J.; Melville, Michael; Hershock, Chad; Rule, Gordon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
In this study, we investigated the optimal placement of animations and practice and feedback exercises with respect to each other and to static text and graphics in an online DNA replication module. We randomly assigned students in a first-semester introductory biology course for freshmen biology majors and nonmajors to one of four online modules…

Supporting Multimedia Learning with Visual Signalling and Animated Pedagogical Agent: Moderating Effects of Prior Knowledge
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Johnson, A. M.; Ozogul, G.; Reisslein, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
An experiment examined the effects of visual signalling to relevant information in multiple external representations and the visual presence of an animated pedagogical agent (APA). Students learned electric circuit analysis using a computer-based learning environment that included Cartesian graphs, equations and electric circuit diagrams. The…

Computer-Assisted Vocabulary Instruction for Students with Disabilities: Evidence from an Effect Size Analysis of Single-Subject Experimental Design Studies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mize, Min Kyung; Park, Yujeong; Moore, Tara – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
The purpose of this study was to synthesize the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) studies aiming to increase vocabulary for students with disabilities in an effort to identify what type of CAI is promising for practice. An extensive search process with inclusion and exclusion criteria yielded a total of 13 single-subject design…

Teaching Genetics with Multimedia Results in Better Acquisition of Knowledge and Improvement in Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Starbek, P.; Erjavec, M. Starcic; Peklaj, C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2010
The main goal of this study was to explore whether the use of multimedia in genetics instruction contributes more to students' knowledge and comprehension than other instructional modes. We were also concerned with the influence of different instructional modes on the retention of knowledge and comprehension. In a quasi-experimental design, four…

The Effects of Animations on Verbal Interaction in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sangin, M.; Dillenbourg, P.; Rebetez, Cyril; Betrancourt, Mireille; Molinari, Gaelle – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
This paper focuses on the interaction patterns of learners studying in pairs who were provided with multimedia learning material. In a previous article, we reported that learning scores were higher for dyads of an "animations" condition than for dyads of a "static pictures" condition. Results also showed that offering a persistent display of one…
