Yuan, Chia-Ching; Li, Cheng-Hsuan; Peng, Chin-Cheng – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Fighter jets are a critical national asset. Because of the high cost of their manufacture and that of their related equipment, both pilots and maintenance personnel must complete intensive training before coming into contact with a jet. Due to gradual military downsizing, one-on-one training is often impracticable, and the level of familiarization…

Jackson, Alexander T.; Brummel, Bradley J.; Pollet, Cody L.; Greer, David D. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
This research examined the effect that a relatively new Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) device, specifically an interactive tabletop, has on elementary students' attitudes toward collaborative technologies, mathematical achievement, and the gender gap in mathematics. Prior research has shown many positive effects of CSCL…

Hsiao, I-Han; Brusilovsky, Peter – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
This paper explores a new approach to engage students in authoring educational content. This approach was implemented in AnnotEx (Example Annotator) system, which allows students to annotate computer programming examples with line-by-line explanations and review annotations produced by their peers. A controlled study of AnnotEx presented in this…

Wang, Hei Chia; Chiu, Yi Fang – Computers & Education, 2011
Traditional e-learning systems support "one-way" communication. Teachers provide knowledge for learners, but they are unable to use a student's learning experiences to benefit the class as a whole. To address these problems, this study explores e-learning success factors via the design and evaluation of an e-learning 2.0 system. This study…

Wu, Po-Han; Hwang, Gwo-Jen; Milrad, Marcelo; Ke, Hui-Ru; Huang, Yueh-Min – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
Concept maps have been widely employed for helping students organise their knowledge as well as evaluating their knowledge structures in a wide range of subject matters. Although researchers have recognised concept maps as being an important educational tool, past experiences have also revealed the difficulty of evaluating the correctness of a…

Echeverria, Alejandro; Garcia-Campo, Cristian; Nussbaum, Miguel; Gil, Francisca; Villalta, Marco; Amestica, Matias; Echeverria, Sebastian – Computers & Education, 2011
The progress registered in the use of video games as educational tools has not yet been successfully transferred to the classroom. In an attempt to close this gap, a framework was developed that assists in the design and classroom integration of educational games. The framework addresses both the educational dimension and the ludic dimension. The…

Fletcher, J. D.; Tobias, Sigmund – Educational Technology, 2011
Evidence collected on the effectiveness of four educational technologies is briefly reviewed. The authors conclude that there is reasonable evidence that computer-assisted instruction can have at least a modest effect on improving learning and probably more when its instructional approaches are properly matched to instructional objectives, that…

Karakostas, Anastasios; Demetriadis, Stavros – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
While adaptive collaboration support has become the focus of increasingly intense research efforts in the CSCL domain, scarce, however, remain the research-based evidence on pedagogically useful ideas on what and how to adapt during the collaborative learning activity. Based principally on two studies, this work presents a compilation of…

Chong, Stefanie Xinyi; Lee, Chien-Sing – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
There are many evidences of motivational and educational benefits from the use of learning software. However, there is a lack of study with regards to the teaching of creative writing. This paper aims to bridge the following gaps: first, the need for a proper framework for scaffolding creative writing through learning software; second, the lack of…

Sung, Yao-Ting; Chang, Kuo-En; Yu, Wen-Cheng – Computers & Education, 2011
Assuring e-learning quality is of interest worldwide. This paper introduces the methods of e-learning courseware quality assurance (a quality certification system) adopted by the eLQSC (e-Learning Quality Service Centre) in Taiwan. A sequential/explanatory design with a mixed methodology was used to gather research data and conduct data analyses.…

van der Spek, Erik D.; Wouters, Pieter; van Oostendorp, Herre – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
Serious games have a great potential for training and educating people in novel and engaging ways. However, little empirical research has been done on the effectiveness of serious games, and although early findings do point to a moderately positive direction, even less is known about why some games succeed in effectively educating while others do…
