Cheryan, Sapna; Meltzoff, Andrew N.; Kim, Saenam – Computers & Education, 2011
Three experiments examined whether the design of virtual learning environments influences undergraduates' enrollment intentions and anticipated success in introductory computer science courses. Changing the design of a virtual classroom--from one that conveys current computer science stereotypes to one that does not--significantly increased…

Shaw, Ruey-Shiang – Computers & Education, 2010
This research investigated the application of knowledge maps in e-learning materials design and hypothesized that knowledge maps would be more effective than e-learning in general at improving the performance and satisfaction of e-learning. In order to test the hypotheses, we conducted an experiment with 175 participants and randomly assigned them…

Coelho, Wesley; Murphy, Gail – Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2007
Becoming a quality software developer requires practice under the guidance of an expert mentor. Unfortunately, in most academic environments, there are not enough experts to provide any significant design mentoring for software engineering students. To address this problem, we present a collaborative software design tool intended to maximize an…

Estelita, Thomas A. – 1972
Presented in this study are a number of laboratory projects typical of those found in a course on digital logic design. In addition, an attempt is made to fuse together the theoretical and practical aspects of logic design. It was the purpose of this study to present an experience in the requirements of a logic design laboratory to the interested…
