Wesley, Alexa; Parnell, Amelia; Askin, Jacalyn – NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, 2020
Higher education is deploying a range of innovative strategies in response to rising costs and financial challenges. This report presents findings from a NASPA [National Association of Student Personnel Administrators] study on cost-saving initiatives at three institutions. Each institution aimed to creatively address different areas affecting…

Rienties, Bart; Lewis, Tim; McFarlane, Ruth; Nguyen, Quan; Toetenel, Lisette – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2018
Language education has a rich history of research and scholarship focusing on the effectiveness of learning activities and the impact these have on student behaviour and outcomes. One of the basic assumptions in foreign language pedagogy and CALL in particular is that learners want to be able to communicate effectively with native speakers of…

Tracey, Monica W.; Joiner, Michael; Kacin, Sara; Burmeister, Jay – Contemporary Educational Technology, 2018
Instructional design focuses on solving problems in a multitude of contexts. As such, designers are investigators, gathering evidence to optimally design solutions to learning problems within the identified context. The challenge described in this case study was the need to create an educational activity to promote interaction and collaboration…

Karchmer-Klein, Rachel, Ed.; Pytash, Kristine E., Ed. – IGI Global, 2020
Online education has become a prevalent means of program and course delivery, especially within teacher education programs. However, the lack of preparation in online design is concerning, especially in the field of teacher education where the focus is preparing preservice and practicing teachers to implement effective, evidence-based…

Beckmann, Elizabeth A.; Mahanty, Sango – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2016
This paper presents selected findings from a 5-year design-based research case study of the evolution of an online role play that allows postgraduate students to explore the complexities inherent in land rights negotiations between indigenous peoples and others. In the context of Laurillard's (2002) conversational framework and a design-based…

O'Shea, Patrick; Curry-Corcoran, Daniel – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2013
This paper describes the process and results of a project to incorporate Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and pedagogical approaches into a Virginian elementary school. The process involved training 5th grade teachers on the design and production of narrative-based AR games in order to give them the skills that they could then pass on to their…

The Effects of Learners' Differences on Variable Manipulation Behaviors in Simulation-Based Learning
Liew, Tze Wei; Tan, Su-Mae; Seydali, Rouzbeh – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2014
The present study examined the relationship among learners' differences, behaviors in manipulating variables, and learning achievements in a simulation-based program that supports discovery learning in the subject of C-programming algorithm. Participants (n = 66) took the Group Embedded Figures Test, Action Control Scale, and Computer…

Robison, Elizabeth Sharon – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Nursing education is experiencing a transition in how students are exposed to clinical situations. Technology, specifically human patient computer simulation, is replacing human exposure in clinical education (Nehring, 2010b). Kaakinen and Arwood (2009) discuss the need to apply learning theories to instructional designs involving simulation for…

Qudrat-Ullah, Hassan – Computers & Education, 2010
The use of simulations in general and of system dynamics simulation based interactive learning environments (SDILEs) in particular is well recognized as an effective way of improving users' decision making and learning in complex, dynamic tasks. However, the effectiveness of SDILEs in classrooms has rarely been evaluated. This article describes…

Fiorella, Logan; Vogel-Walcutt, Jennifer J.; Schatz, Sae – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
Effectively presenting complex material is a crucial component of instructional design within simulation-based training (SBT) environments. One approach to facilitate the acquisition of higher-order knowledge is to embed instructional strategies within the systems themselves. Currently, however, there are few established guidelines to inform…

Durlach, Paula J., Ed; Lesgold, Alan M., Ed. – Cambridge University Press, 2012
This edited volume provides an overview of the latest advancements in adaptive training technology. Intelligent tutoring has been deployed for well-defined and relatively static educational domains such as algebra and geometry. However, this adaptive approach to computer-based training has yet to come into wider usage for domains that are less…
