Brasier, Daniel J.; Melville, Michael; Hershock, Chad; Rule, Gordon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
In this study, we investigated the optimal placement of animations and practice and feedback exercises with respect to each other and to static text and graphics in an online DNA replication module. We randomly assigned students in a first-semester introductory biology course for freshmen biology majors and nonmajors to one of four online modules…

Leenaars, Frank A.; Joolingen, Wouter R.; Gijlers, Hannie; Bollen, Lars – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2014
GearSketch is a learning environment for the gears domain, aimed at students in the final years of primary school. It is designed for use with a touchscreen device and is based on ideas from drawing-based learning and research on cognitive tutors. At the heart of GearSketch is a domain model that is used to transform learners' strokes into…

Luealamai, Sutha; Panijpan, Bhinyo – Simulation & Gaming, 2012
The authors have developed a computer-based learning module on the unit cell of various types of crystal. The module has two components: the virtual unit cell (VUC) part and the subsequent unit cell hunter part. The VUC is a virtual reality simulation for students to actively arrive at the unit cell from exploring, from a broad view, the crystal…

Lwo, Laurence; Lin, Michelle Chia-Tzu – ReCALL, 2012
This study aims to explore the impact of different captions on second language (L2) learning in a computer-assisted multimedia context. A quasi-experimental design was adopted, and a total of thirty-two eighth graders selected from a junior high school joined the study. They were systematically assigned into four groups based on their proficiency…

Rieber, Lloyd P. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1990
Effects of animated presentations and practice were studied in a computer-based science lesson involving 55 fourth graders and 64 fifth graders. Results suggest that animated graphics can promote learning, and they demonstrate successful application of interactive graphics in the design of cognitively based practice activities. (SLD)
