Instructional Development for Teachers in Higher Education: Effects on Students' Learning Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stes, Ann; De Maeyer, Sven; Gijbels, David; Van Petegem, Peter – Teaching in Higher Education, 2012
Evidence regarding the impact of teachers' instructional development on student learning in higher education is scarce. In this study, we investigate the impact of an instructional development program for beginning university teachers on students' learning outcomes. We also explore whether this impact is dependent on class size and student level.…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Yuliang – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2013
This quasi-experimental study was to design, develop, and implement one multimedia math lesson in third grade to improve students' math learning. The non-equivalent control group design was used. The experimental group had 11 third grade students and the control group had 15 third grade students in an African American predominated elementary…

Saxena, Varun; Natarajan, Pradeep; O'Sullivan, Patricia S.; Jain, Sharad – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2008
Medical schools have reduced the time allotted to anatomy instruction. Consequently, schools engage students in more independent settings using information and communication technologies (ICT). There has been limited research in the use of video aids, a type of ICT, to enhance anatomy examination performance. The objective of this study is to…

Learning with Hyperlinked Videos--Design Criteria and Efficient Strategies for Using Audiovisual Hypermedia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zahn, Carmen; Barquero, Beatriz; Schwan, Stephan – Learning and Instruction, 2004
In this article, we discuss the results of an experiment in which we studied two apparently conflicting classes of design principles for instructional hypervideos: (1) those principles derived from work on multimedia learning that emphasize spatio-temporal contiguity and (2) those originating from work on hypermedia learning that favour…

One-to-One and Small Group Formative Evaluation.
Wager, Jane C. – Performance and Instruction, 1983
An experiment designed to determine the aptitude level(s) and group size which would provide optimal feedback for formative evaluation of instructional materials found that revisions based on feedback from one-to- one sessions with a mixed aptitude group were more effective than those based on feedback from a group or single aptitude level.

Personalizing Math Problems: A Modern Technology Approach to an Old Idea.
Ross, Steven M.; And Others – Educational Technology, 1988
Description of a microcomputer-based instructional strategy used to adapt computer assisted instruction (CAI) to individual learners' needs highlights its use with elementary school arithmetic classes to solve work problems. Experiments with a control group that received conventional problems are described, and applications for undergraduate…
