Ploetzner, Rolf; Berney, Sandra; Bétrancourt, Mireille – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
In a systematic review, 194 studies on learning from animation were analysed. The analysis covers the learning domains, the representational characteristics of the animations, the assessed perceptual and cognitive achievements, and the assessment formats. Research on learning from animation focuses on assessing conceptual at the neglect of…

Chen, Jyun-Chen; Huang, Yun; Lin, Kuen-Yi; Chang, Yu-Shan; Lin, Hung-Chang; Lin, Chien-Yu; Hsiao, Hsien-Sheng – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
This study combined virtual reality (VR) technology, the 6E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Engineer, Enrich, and Evaluate) model, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education to develop a hands-on activity aimed at helping students to achieve "learning by doing." The participants were 162 tenth-grade students,…

Evaluation of Two Types of Online Help for Application Software.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dutke, Stephan; Reimer, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2000
Discusses online help systems in application software design and describes two experiments in which adult computer novices learned to use experimental graphics software by task-based exploration. Topics include operative help; function-oriented help; effects on learning performance; schemata; mental models; and implications for the design of…

An Activity Theory Framework To Explore Distributed Communities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lewis, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1997
Research into computer-supported collaborative working (CSCW) and computer-supported cooperative learning (CSCL) traditionally emphasize their differences, but each research domain can offer insights into the other. This article draws on both research areas to create a framework based on activity theory for applying communication technology to…
