A Conceptualization of Intended Learning Outcomes Supporting Self-Regulated Learners in Indicating Learning Paths
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tangworakitthaworn, P.; Gilbert, L.; Wills, G.B. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
Intended learning outcomes (ILOs) indicate what learners will be able to achieve after they are taught. Traditionally, ILOs are expressed as plain text or unstructured documents. What if all ILOs of a specific course of study can be conceptualized through a structured diagrammatic technique? It was hypothesized that learners can benefit from this…

Chang, C.-J.; Chang, M.-H.; Liu, C.-C.; Chiu, B.-C.; Fan Chiang, S.-H.; Wen, C.-T.; Hwang, F.-K.; Chao, P.-Y.; Chen, Y.-L.; Chai, C.-S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
Researchers have indicated that the collaborative problem-solving space afforded by the collaborative systems significantly impact the problem-solving process. However, recent investigations into collaborative simulations, which allow a group of students to jointly manipulate a problem in a shared problem space, have yielded divergent results…

Maycock, Keith W.; Keating, J. G. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
This experimental study investigates the effect on the examination performance of a cohort of first-year undergraduate learners undertaking a Unified Modelling Language (UML) course using an adaptive learning system against a control group of learners undertaking the same UML course through a traditional lecturing environment. The adaptive…

The Effect of a Graph-Oriented Computer-Assisted Project-Based Learning Environment on Argumentation Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hsu, P. -S.; Van Dyke, M.; Chen, Y.; Smith, T. J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to explore how seventh graders in a suburban school in the United States developed argumentation skills and science knowledge in a project-based learning environment that incorporated a graph-oriented, computer-assisted application. A total of 54 students (three classes) comprised this treatment…

Häkkinen, P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2013
Several studies have analysed and assessed online performance and discourse using quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative measures have typically included the analysis of participation rates and learning outcomes in terms of grades. Qualitative measures of postings, discussions and context features aim to give insights into the nature…

Computer-Assisted Foreign Language Instruction: Task Based vs. Form Focused
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arslanyilmaz, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2013
The purpose of this article is twofold: to describe a prototype for a computer-assisted task-based language instruction (CATBI) tool designed and developed for Turkish as a Foreign Language, and to report on the effectiveness of the CATBI tool. More specifically, this work discusses an experimental study that examined the role of teaching approach…

User-Oriented Quality for OER: Understanding Teachers' Views on Re-Use, Quality, and Trust
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Clements, K. I.; Pawlowski, J. M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2012
We analysed how teachers as users of open educational resources (OER) repositories act in the re-use process and how they perceive quality. Based on a quantitative empirical study, we also surveyed which quality requirements users have and how they would contribute to the quality process. Trust in resources, organizations, and technologies seem to…

Wang, K. H.; Wang, T. H.; Wang, W. L.; Huang, S. C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of formative assessment and learning style on student achievement in a Web-based learning environment. A quasi-experimental research design was used. Participants were 455 seventh grade students from 12 classes of six junior high schools. A Web-based course, named BioCAL, combining three…
