Hirshfield, Laura J.; Koretsky, Milo D. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
In engineering design, engineers must be able to think creatively, effectively toggling between divergent thinking (developing multiple novel ideas) and convergent thinking (pursuing an appropriate idea using engineering analyses). However, creative thinking is not emphasized in many undergraduate engineering programs. In this empirical study, we…

Guo, Pengyue; Saab, Nadira; Wu, Lin; Admiraal, Wilfried – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Project-based learning (PjBL) engages students in knowledge acquisition, application, and construction through artefact development. Based on the Community of Inquiry framework, this study characterized college students' social and cognitive presences in online PjBL and examined how presence was related to their academic performance. Twenty-four…

Lin, C-Y.; Reigeluth, C. M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
While educators value wikis' potential, wikis may fail to support collaborative constructive learning without careful scaffolding. This article proposes literature-based instructional methods, revised based on two expert instructors' input, presents the collected empirical evidence on the effects of these methods and proposes directions for future…
