Grade and Knowledge Improvement as a Result of Computer-Assisted Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vogler, Conrad; And Others – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1991
Describes a study of students at Buffalo State College that was conducted to compare achievement results between a class taught with computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and one taught without CAI. Computer attitudes are examined, sex differences are discussed, and pretest and posttest scores are analyzed. (17 references) (LRW)

The Use of a Simulated Statistics Laboratory in the Teaching of Multivariate Statistics.
Bajgier, Steve M.; Atkinson, MaryAnne – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Describes the use of a simulated learning environment (SLE) as an instructional aid in teaching multivariate statistics, particularly inferential statistics. A prototype microcomputer-based SLE called MVWORLD developed at Drexel University for upper level statistics courses is explained, and implementing a statistics laboratory for multivariate…

Effects of Text versus Voice on Learning in Multimedia Courseware.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shih, Yu-Fen; Alessi, Stephen M. – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 1996
Analyzes the relative advantages of using text versus voice to convey verbal information in multimedia courseware and reports results of a study of undergraduates that investigated the effects of presentation method on learning and student preferences. Topics include realism, dual modality, controllability, content characteristics, learner…

The Effects of Content-Structure Focusing on Learner Structural Knowledge Acquisition, Retention, and Disorientation in a Hypermedia Environment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Beasley, Robert E.; Waugh, Michael E. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1996
Describes a study of 61 undergraduates that investigated the effects of hypermedia content-structure focusing on learner's structural knowledge acquisition, retention, and disorientation. Use of a Completely Randomized Multivariate Analysis of Variance design for hypothesis testing is explained and implications for hypermedia design are discussed.…

Effects of Psychology Courseware Use on Computer Anxiety in Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lambert, Matthew E.; Lenthall, Gerard – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Describes study that examined the relationship between computer anxiety and the use of psychology courseware in an undergraduate abnormal psychology class using four computerized case simulations. Comparisons of pretest and posttest computer anxiety measures are described, and the relationship between computer anxiety/attitudes and computer use is…

Pull-Down Menus, Menu Design, and Usage Patterns in Computer-Assisted Instruction.
Schuerman, Robert L.; Peck, Kyle L. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1991
Discussion of menu design strategies for computer-assisted instruction (CAI) focuses on a study that investigated whether menu design would affect undergraduate learners' usage patterns during a CAI lesson. Sequential versus random selection of options is discussed, and new measures for describing usage patterns in CAI are explained. (eight…
