Although interactive technology is presumed to increase student understanding in large classes, no previous research studies have empirically explored the effects of Clicker Cases on students' performance. A Clicker Case is a story (e.g., a problem someone is facing) that uses clickers (student response systems) to engage students in understanding…

Bartsch, Robert A.; Murphy, Wendy – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2011
This experiment examines the causal effect an electronic classroom response system (ECRS) has on students. Previous studies using an ECRS in the classroom indicate improved performance; however, many have confounds typical of classroom studies. To complement these studies, we conducted a laboratory study to minimize these confounds and concentrate…

Jackson, Mary Jo; Helms, Marilyn M.; Jackson, William T.; Gum, John R. – Journal of Education for Business, 2011
The influx of technology into education has begun a transformation of the classroom. The authors replicated a 1996 study of college students' expectations of technology to be used in the classroom. Students reported prior experience with computer technology, their ideal classroom instruction techniques, and what technology-enhanced pedagogies they…

Crossgrove, Kirsten; Curran, Kristen L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2008
Student response systems (clickers) are viewed positively by students and instructors in numerous studies. Evidence that clickers enhance student learning is more variable. After becoming comfortable with the technology during fall 2005-spring 2006, we compared student opinion and student achievement in two different courses taught with clickers…

Wang, Qiyun; Woo, Huay Lit – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2007
The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived differences between asynchronous online discussions and face-to-face discussions in a classroom setting. The students' reflections were analysed by following a qualitative research approach. The results showed that atmosphere, response, efficiency, interactivity and communication were the…

Swan, Karen – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1997
Reports on two studies that compared adult students' responses to, and recall from, hypermedia materials with and without integrated video segments. Results suggest that embedded video can enhance learning from hypermedia: (1) video adds an affective dimension that makes hypermedia materials more meaningful; and (2) video is presented in a more…

Yu, Byeong-Min; Kim, Kyong-Jee; Roh, Seak-Zoon – 2001
This study identified direct and indirect effects of Web users' age, gender, technical training, computer and Web competencies, perceived usefulness of the Web, and perceived needs of the Web on their Web use. A theoretical model for the variables that affect individual differences in Web use was conceptualized through related literature and…
