This article reviews current knowledge about using computers to teach problem-solving skills to students with learning disabilities (LD). It presents the case for use of hypermedia to improve students' mathematics problem-solving abilities. Specific suggestions are given for applying hypermedia to cognitive strategy instruction and the graduated…

Literary hypertext has often been acknowledged as the embodiment of poststructuralist literary theory (e.g. Coover, 1992; Landow, 1997; Bolter, 2001). The only literary medium that is produced, edited, published and received electronically, it encourages readings that defy the conventionally linear decoding process. With respect to text…

This article uses a cognitive problem-solving model to explore the application of hypermedia authoring software to mathematics in general and to mathematical problem solving in particular. Hypermedia is presented as a method of exploring alternative solution processes to remediate or prevent learning problems. (JDD)

Evaluated the effectiveness of a training process that provided teachers with information about how to use an interactive multimedia package for classroom instruction. Structure of the support materials (printed and hypertext) was found to influence teachers' cognitive strategies, which were labelled as "sequential" or "goal-oriented." Attitude…

Describes the design of a hypermedia tool for helping preservice teachers learn about the growth and development of children's mathematical reasoning based on research in cognitive science, and discusses results of an experiment that used single-subject methodology to compare preservice teachers' learning with the hypermedia tool versus learning…

Maintains that multimedia technology can bridge the gap between visual learners and the aural experience of music. Discusses the efficacy of low-tech approaches such as listening maps where icons in the score denote musical changes and high-tech approaches including multimedia programs. Includes a five-item annotated bibliography. (MJP)

This research investigates the ways people learn from multimedia and how navigational patterns can be incorporated into the design structure. The paper begins with a discussion of present navigational research and then presents the results from the initial empirical work, including a pilot study of primary and secondary children using multimedia…

This volume contains the papers presented at the fifth International Conference on the Learning Sciences (formerly the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Education). As the change in name signifies, a strong effort has been made to open the conference to a broader audience, including educational and cognitive psychologists…

The papers in this collection of 71 individual papers and 3 symposiums represent some of the most current thinking in educational communications and technology. For the first time, a selected number of development papers sponsored by the Division for Instructional Development are included. Topics discussed include the effects of various conditions…
