Green, Marybeth; McNair, Lisa; Pierce, Carolyn; Harvey, Carl – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2019
Augmented reality (AR) is predicted to be one of the driving forces in education over the next five years. However, the success of this technology depends on the intelligent design of the apps. This research investigated commercially available augmented reality picture books to survey their digital features interactive features. The researchers…

Prototypes and Idealizations in Natural Language Shape Descriptions.
Heidorn, P. Bryan – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Describes a graphic modeling, natural language processing system, VerbalImage, which mimics features of human shape reasoning. Subjects read the same text description and were able to recognize the image generated by the computer from among a series of other computer-generated images. Performance on task was as good as for a control group…

Altun, Arif – 1998
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an electronic medium that combines orthographic form with real time, synchronous transmission in an unregulated global multi-user environment. The orthographic letters mediate the interaction in that users can only access the IRC session through reading and writing; they have no access to any visual representations at…

PDF on ERIC Download full text
Alpert, Sherman R.; Grueneberg, Keith – 2001
A concept map is a graphical representation of a person's (student's) knowledge of a domain. Concept maps have been used in educational settings for some time and many computer-based implementations of interactive concept map building tools exist. These concept mapping tools often provide for a solely prepositional, primarily textual, knowledge…

Pictorial Presentation and Review Strategies in Science Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Alesandrini, Kathryn Lutz; Rigney, Joseph W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1981
Tested were all-verbal or verbal-pictorial presentations followed by either pictorial practice or a control task with 96 undergraduates; results favored pictorial presentation with review. Also tested were effectiveness of pictorial review tasks to a read-twice control with 50 different undergraduates. Pictorial review facilitated performance and…
