Camille Tordet; Jonathan Fernandez; Eric Jamet – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Previous research has demonstrated that quizzing can improve self-regulation processes and learning performances. However, it remains unclear whether quizzes in multimedia material bring similar benefits, and whether interindividual differences such as working memory capacity (WMC) modulate quizzing effects. Aims: This study aimed to…

Alyssa P. Lawson; Richard E. Mayer – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is a new technology that could motivate learners, but also could contain distracting elements that increase cognitive demands on learners. In contrast, learning with conventional media, such as a narrated slideshow could be less motivating, but also less distracting. Objectives: This experiment…

Vanessa Echeverria; Gloria Fernandez Nieto; Linxuan Zhao; Evelyn Palominos; Namrata Srivastava; Dragan Gaševic; Viktoria Pammer-Schindler; Roberto Martinez-Maldonado – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Dashboards play a prominent role in learning analytics (LA) research. In collaboration activities, dashboards can show traces of team participation. They are often evaluated based on students' perceived satisfaction and engagement with the dashboard. However, there is a notable methodological gap in understanding how these dashboards…

Shuhan Zhang; Gary K. W. Wong – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Computational thinking (CT) has emerged as a critical component of 21st-century skills, and increasing effort was seen in exploring the development of CT skills in K-12 students. Despite cumulative research on exploring students' CT acquisition and its influencing factors, learners' development of the skill over time and the underlying…

Greenberg, Kevin; Zheng, Robert; Gardner, Michael; Orr, Matthew – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
The cognitive theory of multimedia learning postulates learning information in a dual-modality design is more effective than in a single modality, which is known as the modality effect. Research has found that the modality effect supports problem-solving learning, but not retention-based learning. This divergence in findings can be explained by…

Coskun, Atakan; Cagiltay, Kursat – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: The most challenging task in eye-tracking-based multimedia research is to establish a relationship between eye-tracking metrics (or cognitive processes) and learners' performance scores. Additionally, there are current debates about the effectiveness of animations (or simulations) in promoting learning in multimedia settings.…

Zhang, Ling; Carter, Richard Allen, Jr.; Basham, James D.; Yang, Sohyun – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Personalized learning (PL), conceptualized as an education innovation that tailors learning to meet diverse student needs, has drawn increased attention from different fields of study, such as education, learning sciences, and computer science. Regardless, there is a lack of a comprehensive understanding of PL instructional designs…

Dana Kube; Sebastian Gombert; Brigitte Suter; Joshua Weidlich; Karel Kreijns; Hendrik Drachsler – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Gender stereotypes about women and men are prevalent in computer science (CS). The study's goal was to investigate the role of gender bias in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) in a CS context by elaborating on gendered experiences in the perception of individual and team performance in mixed-gender teams in a hackathon.…

Kaarakainen, Meri-Tuulia; Saikkonen, Loretta – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
The adoption of technology in teaching has been identified to relate to various factors from attitudes and self-efficacy to subjective norms and digital references. The aim of this study is to broaden the perspective to hierarchical grouping effects. Multilevel modelling of the study utilizes the data of 2355 Finnish basic education teachers. The…

Wu, Y. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
Technologies bring a new era of content presentation for online teaching and learning. With more instructors adopting new tools to design online teaching materials, students are often put into learning contexts with certain new design components. Assessing learner experience and outcome in these contexts is challenging because of the complexity…

Witteman, M. J.; Segers, E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2010
The modality learning effect proposes that learning is enhanced when information is presented in both the visual and the auditory domains (e.g. pictures and spoken information) compared with presenting information solely in the visual channel (e.g. pictures and written text). Most of the evidence for this effect comes from adults in a laboratory…

Bassili, J. N. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
When presented with the option to use a new instructional technology, students often face an approach-avoidance conflict. This study explored promotion and prevention orientations, concepts linked to approach and avoidance in Higgins's regulatory focus theory, in the choice to attend lectures or watch them online. Openness, a core disposition in…
