Cognitive Support for Learning Computer-Based Tasks Using Animated Demonstration
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chen, Chun-Ying – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
This study investigated the influence of cognitive support for learning computer-based tasks using animated demonstration (AD) on instructional efficiency. Cognitive support included (1) segmentation and learner control introducing interactive devices that allow content sequencing through a navigational menu, and content pacing through stop and…

Effects of Pacing and Cognitive Style across Dynamic and Non-Dynamic Representations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hoffler, Tim N.; Schwartz, Ruth N. – Computers & Education, 2011
The effects of self-pacing versus system-pacing were examined in different versions of a computer-based learning environment (static pictures/animations). The role of cognitive style was also considered. While the variables investigated did not have a direct impact on either learning outcome or cognitive load, significant interaction effects were…

Hatsidimitris, George; Kalyuga, Slava – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
Learning with instructional animations may overstretch limited working memory resources due to intense processing demands associated with transient information. The authors investigated whether explicit instructional advice coupled with a task-specific learner control mechanism (such as a timeline scrollbar) could facilitate the successful…

Using Animated Agents in Learner-Controlled Training: The Effects of Design Control
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Behrend, Tara S.; Thompson, Lori Foster – International Journal of Training and Development, 2012
Animated agents have the potential to increase engagement and learning during online training by acting as personalized tutors. However, little is known about the conditions that make these agents most effective. In this study, 183 e-learners completed a Microsoft Excel training course. Approximately half were assigned an agent with predetermined…

Cinegrams for Self-Directed Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fischer, Detlev; Richards, Clive – Computers & Education, 1995
Presents potential uses of cinegrams for self-directed learning; shows how these interactive animated diagrams for technical documentation and training serve as browsing tools for the exploration of interrelated engine subsystems. Describes the development of a cinegram prototype implemented in HyperCard that shows the oil system of a Rolls Royce…

Controlling the Display of Animation for Better Understanding.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lai, Shu-Ling – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2001
Investigates whether students perform best after using computer-based learning (CBL) courseware with three types of animation-control strategies: program control, linear control, and learner control. Results suggest that accommodating learners' individual differences in the design of computer-based learning lessons is an important concern. (AEF)
