Shin, Donghee; Park, Seyoung – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2019
As an instructional material, 3D instructions afford people to learn procedural-manipulative tasks. Observing and emulating motions presented in 3D animations is important in learning contexts. This study examined the effects of visual cueing in an effort to identify the optimal way to present information in a 3D virtual environment. While…

Plass, Jan L.; Homer, Bruce D.; Hayward, Elizabeth O. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2009
This paper reviews research on learning from dynamic visual representations and offers principles for the design of animations and simulations that assure their educational effectiveness. In addition to established principles, new and revised design principle are presented that have been derived from recent research. Our review focuses on the…

Kaplan, Danielle E.; Wu, Erin Chia-ling – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2006
Our research suggests static and animated graphics can lead to more animated thinking and more correct problem solving in computer-based probability learning. Pilot software modules were developed for graduate online statistics courses and representation research. A study with novice graduate student statisticians compared problem solving in five…

Instructional Animations: The In-House Production of Biology Software.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Windschitl, Mark – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1996
The in-house development at Iowa State University of 30 scientific animations for biology instruction is described, from conceptual drawing board to actual use in lecture halls and computer labs. Recommendations for the design, creation, and implementation of animations are outlined. Production is guided by practical technical considerations as…
