Hui-Chun Chu; Chia-Ying Hsu; Chun-Chieh Wang – Educational Technology & Society, 2025
In ancient poetry courses, students are expected to learn literary skills and the ability for interpreting ancient poems, from which they can gain insight into the historical context and appreciate the beauty of the poems. However, due to the gaps between ancient and modern living contexts, students often encounter difficulties in comprehending…

Bianchi, Laura J.; Risko, Evan F. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
With the increase in online course use (Allen & Seaman, 2017), there is an increasing need to determine the most effective (i.e., the most conducive for learning) way to present lectures online (e.g., video lectures). Lecture graphics that are interesting but extraneous to the content (e.g., a celebrity), have been shown to impair…

Salmeron, Ladislao; Baccino, Thierry; Canas, Jose J.; Madrid, Rafael I.; Fajardo, Inmaculada – Computers & Education, 2009
Educational hypertexts usually include graphical overviews, conveying the structure of the text schematically with the aim of fostering comprehension. Despite the claims about their relevance, there is currently no consensus on the impact that hypertext overviews have on the reader's comprehension. In the present paper we have explored how…

Krufka, S. E.; Barner, K. E. – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2006
Methods to automatically convert graphics into tactile representations have been recently investigated, creating either raised-line or relief images. In particular, we briefly review one raised-line method where important features are emphasized. This paper focuses primarily on the effects of such emphasis and on comparing both raised-line and…

Mackenzie, D. Scott; Jansen, Duane G. – Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, 1998
A treatment group of technical-graphics students who were taught drafting principles using an interactive multimedia device to enhance instructor presentation of the material scored significantly higher, retained more, and had better attitudes than controls. There were no differences in amount of instructional time, but considerably more…

Mizener, Heather – English Quarterly, 1985
Examines the effects of text elaboration and imagery on student comprehension in a computer-assisted poetry assignment designed to teach the concept of "mood." Concludes that the computer neither hindered nor elevated comprehension. (EL)

Schruben, Lee W. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1992
SIGMA (Simulation Graphical Modeling and Analysis) is a computer graphics environment for building, testing, and experimenting with discrete event simulation models on personal computers. It uses symbolic representations (computer animation) to depict the logic of large, complex discrete event systems for easier understanding and has proven itself…

Rieber, Lloyd P.; And Others – 1996
The purpose of this study was to explore how adult users interact and learn during a computer-based simulation given visual and verbal forms of feedback coupled with embedded elaborations of the content. A total of 52 college students interacted with a computer-based simulation of Newton's laws of motion in which they had control over the motion…

Hays, Timothy A. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1996
To determine if different levels of graphic presentation affected understanding, 131 middle school science students with high and low spatial ability were shown programs teaching concepts of molecular diffusion with no graphics, static graphics, or animated graphics. Students with low spatial ability benefited from animated presentations. Spatial…

Chen, Lin Ching – 1997
This study investigates whether color and background information in motion visuals have different effects on memory and comprehension of students in various grade levels. A three-by-three factorial pretest-posttest design was used, comparing levels of visual complexity and grade levels. The instructional content was a 12-minute computer animation…

Metallinos, Nikos; Chartrand, Sylvie – 1987
This exploratory study of the effects of the new visual communications media imagery (e.g., video games, digital television, and computer graphics) on the visual perception process is designed to provide a theoretical framework for research, introduce appropriate research instruments for such study, and experiment with the application of biometric…

El-Tigi, Manal A.; And Others – 1997
The way information is visually designed and synthesized greatly affects how people understand and use that information. Increased use of the World Wide Web as a teaching tool makes it imperative to question how visual/verbal information presented via the Web can increase or restrict understanding. The purpose of this study was to examine…

Chanlin, Lih-Juan – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1997
This study examined: (1) the effectiveness of integrating verbal elaboration (metaphors) and different visual presentation strategies (still and animated graphics) in learning biotechnology concepts; (2) whether the use of verbal elaboration with different visual presentation strategies facilitates cognitive processes; and (3) how students employ…
