Characterizing Navigation in Interactive Learning Environments
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liang, Hai-Ning; Sedig, Kamran – Interactive Learning Environments, 2009
Interactive learning environments (ILEs) are increasingly used to support and enhance instruction and learning experiences. ILEs maintain and display information, allowing learners to interact with this information. One important method of interacting with information is navigation. Often, learners are required to navigate through the information…

Assessing Hypermedia Navigation through Pathfinder: Prospects and Limitations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barab, Sasha A.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1996
Pathfinder is a graphic theoretic technique used to analyze proximity data. This study evaluates its validity: (1) for representing and comparing individuals' navigation through a computer-based hypermedia environment; and (2) for generating an empirically-derived path that represents a set of individual navigational paths during computer-assisted…
