Peer reviewedShapiro, Amy M. – Human-Computer Interaction, 1998
This study of 72 undergraduates examined whether theories of learning from text may be extended to hypertext and the effectiveness of hypertext on learning. Participants worked with either a highly structured, unstructured, or linear hypertext system. Results indicated that less structured systems promoted more active processing and a deeper level…

Berger, Gertrude – 1988
The current state of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in kindergarten through grade 12 is discussed. Four formats for CAI--drill, practice, tutorial, and simulation--are defined, and a set of criteria for distinguishing between effective and ineffective CAI are described. Comparisons are made between human and computer tutors. In response to…

Peer reviewedMorrison, Gary R.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1988
Summarizes three research studies on text and screen density variables in a computer based instruction (CBI) lesson. The first two studies investigated the effectiveness of low density text on lessons taught in print and CBI modes; the third study examined learner preferences for different screen densities.

This study investigated the effects of audio and text density on the achievement, time-in-program, and attitudes of 134 undergraduates. Data concerning the subjects' preexisting computer skills and experience, as well as demographic information, were also collected. The instruction in visual design principles was delivered by computer and included…
