Hsu, Yu-Chang; Lin, Huifen; Ching, Yu-Hui; Dwyer, Francis M. – Educational Technology & Society, 2009
The purpose of this study was to examine whether matching navigation mode of a learning environment with learners' preferred navigation mode would facilitate their learning in a web environment. Sixty-eight undergraduate students were randomly assigned to treatments (linear vs. nonlinear navigation mode) and received four criterion tests designed…

The Generative Effects of Instructional Organizers with Computer-Based Interactive Video.
Kenny, Richard F. – 1992
This study compared the use of three instructional organizers--the advance organizer (AO), the participatory pictorial graphic organizer (PGO), and the final form pictorial graphic organizer (FGO)--in the design and use of computer-based interactive video (CBIV) programs. That is, it attempted to determine whether a less generative or more…

The Generative Effects of Graphic Organizers with Computer-Based Interactive Video by Global and Analytic Thinkers.
Kenny, Richard F.; And Others – 1991
Computer-based interactive video (CBIV), a hypermedia system that uses the power of the computer to support student interaction with various audio and visual media, can pose such problems for students as the potential for learner disorientation and cognitive overload. Intended to explore the applicability of Wittrock's generative learning…

A Fine-Tuned Look at White Space Variation in Desktop Publishing.
Knupfer, Nancy Nelson; McIsaac, Marina Stock – 1991
This investigation of the use of white space in print-based, computer-generated text focused on the point at which the white space interferes with reading speed and comprehension. It was hypothesized that reading speed and comprehension would be significantly greater when text was wrapped tightly around the graphic than when it had one-half inch…
