Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tan, Sabine; O'Halloran, Kay L.; Wignell, Peter – ReCALL, 2016
Multimodality, the study of the interaction of language with other semiotic resources such as images and sound resources, has significant implications for computer assisted language learning (CALL) with regards to understanding the impact of digital environments on language teaching and learning. In this paper, we explore recent manifestations of…

Al-Dujaily, Amal; Kim, Jieun; Ryu, Hokyoung – Educational Technology & Society, 2013
A concern of computer-based learning system design is how to accommodate learners' individual differences during learning activities. Previous research suggests that adaptive e-learning systems can effectively address such individual differences and, consequently, they enable more directed tutoring via computer-assisted instruction. In this paper,…

Effects of Textual and Animated Orienting Activities and Practice on Learning from Computer-Based Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rieber, Lloyd P.; Hannafin, Michael J. – Computers in the Schools, 1988
Describes study designed to examine the effects of textual and/or computer animated orienting strategies and practice on rule-using and problem-solving skills of elementary school students using computer-assisted instruction. Four different versions of a lesson based on Isaac Newton's Law of Motion are described, and results are analyzed. (28…

Rieber, Lloyd P.; Hannafin, Michael J. – 1987
A study was carried out at Pennsylvania State University to examine the effects of both textual and computer animated orienting activities--i.e., mediators through which new information is presented to the learner--and practice on the application and problem solving skills of elementary school students. It was hypothesized that students provided…
