Peer reviewedNiemiec, Richard P.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1996
Considers the effects of learner control in computer-assisted instruction based on literature reviews and a meta analysis of 24 studies. Results suggest that learner control has little if any effect on students, and further research is recommended. (Author/LRW)

Peer reviewedMattoon, Joseph S.; Klein, James D. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1993
Discussion of learner control in computer-assisted instructional simulations focuses on an experiment conducted with undergraduate students that compared three different treatments for instructional control in an aircraft simulator. Topics addressed include performance on immediate and delayed posttests; practice; student attitudes; effects of…

Peer reviewedGoforth, Dave – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1994
Presents a meta-analysis of research concerning the effectiveness of learner control in tutorial computer-assisted instruction based on a model of control as decision making plus information. Results are discussed which suggest that instructional design in learner control research should be based on model building rather than hypothesis testing.…

Peer reviewedTolhurst, Denise; Debus, Raymond L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2002
Describes a study of Australian secondary school students that identified the conditions and individual characteristics that would best support learners' acceptance of control within hypermedia, based on evidence from the learner control literature. Investigated effects of prior domain knowledge, learning activity structure, ability, and attitudes…
