Gelan, Anouk; Fastré, Greet; Verjans, Martine; Martin, Niels; Janssenswillen, Gert; Creemers, Mathijs; Lieben, Jonas; Depaire, Benoît; Thomas, Michael – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2018
Learning analytics (LA) has emerged as a field that offers promising new ways to prevent drop-out and aid retention. However, other research suggests that large datasets of learner activity can be used to understand online learning behaviour and improve pedagogy. While the use of LA in language learning has received little attention to date,…

Batdi, Veli – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2015
This research aims to investigate the effect of computer-based teaching (CBT) on students' academic success. The research used a meta-analytic method to reach a general conclusion by statistically calculating the results of a number of independent studies. In total, 78 studies (62 master's theses, 4 PhD theses, and 12 articles) concerning this…

Chen, Tsuiping – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2016
Some studies on technology-supported peer feedback in the writing classroom claim that it reduces the threatening atmosphere caused by face-to-face interaction and that the discourse patterns and language use in the electronic feedback are more flexible than in spoken discourse. Others present a negative view that the comments generated from…

What Works Clearinghouse, 2014
The 2014 study, "Conceptualizing Astronomical Scale: Virtual Simulations on Handheld Tablet Computers Reverse Misconceptions," examined the effects of using the true-to-scale (TTS) display mode versus the orrery display mode in the iPad's Solar Walk software application on students' knowledge of the Earth's place in the solar system. The…

Steel, Caroline H.; Levy, Mike – ReCALL, 2013
This paper has two key objectives. Firstly, it seeks to record the technologies in current use by learners of a range of languages at an Australian university in 2011. Data was collected via a large-scale survey of 587 foreign language students across ten languages at The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. Notably the data…

Salden, Ron J. C. M.; Aleven, Vincent; Schwonke, Rolf; Renkl, Alexander – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
Prior research has shown that tutored problem solving with intelligent software tutors is an effective instructional method, and that worked examples are an effective complement to this kind of tutored problem solving. The work on the expertise reversal effect suggests that it is desirable to tailor the fading of worked examples to individual…

Arbaugh, J. B.; Godfrey, Michael R.; Johnson, Marianne; Pollack, Birgit Leisen; Niendorf, Bruce; Wresch, William – Internet and Higher Education, 2009
In this literature review, we examine and assess the state of research of online and blended learning in the business disciplines with the intent of assessing the state of the field and identifying opportunities for meaningful future research. We review research from business disciplines such as Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information Systems…

Antista, John A. – 1974
The purpose of this study was to investigate the results of using computer-assisted instruction to teach basic English grammar material in a senior high school English class. Two experimental groups (one male and one female) consisting of 51 students received computer-assisted instruction as part of the method of instruction, while the control…

Fischer, Robert – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2007
This article presents a survey of computer-based tracking in CALL and the uses to which the analysis of tracking data can be put to address questions in CALL in particular and second language acquisition (SLA) in general. Adopting both quantitative and qualitative methods, researchers have found that students often use software in unexpected ways,…

Bliuc, Ana-Maria; Goodyear, Peter; Ellis, Robert A. – Internet and Higher Education, 2007
The paper reviews representative research into blended learning in universities, taking into account the methodology used, the focus of the research and the relationship between the two. In terms of methodology, most research was classifiable as case-studies, survey-based studies or comparative studies. A small number of studies take a…

London Borough of Havering (England). – 1973
In a third study of the Computer Aided Learning (CAL) system of the London Borough of Havering, England, the performance of students taught biology by a teacher using the CAL system was compared with that of students taught by the same teacher without the CAL system. Students were divided into two matched groups and compared using a…

Post, Gerald V. – Journal of Economic Education, 1985
An evaluation of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in economics showed that CAI does improve student scores but not significantly more than traditional assignments. Results indicated that CAI is better than just using lectures to teach economics, and that, while, CAI is not better than traditional assignments, it is not any worse. (RM)

Greenwood, Vanessa – 1994
This paper calls for a close examination of the interface between technology and education. First, it examines previous research in the field of instructional technology. Secondly, it critiques the current body of research, dominated by those in a rather separate field, educational technology. The bodies of research are compared, and a critical…

Lunetta, Vincent Norman – 1972
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a series of simulation dialogs utilizing certain computer capabilities. The series of simulations produced in the study parallel the fundamental, inductive experiments developed by the Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) through which students generalize Newton's Second Law. Students…
