Kay, Robin – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2013
Web-based learning tools (WBLTs), also known as learning objects, have been evaluated with a wide range of metrics, but rarely with respect to pedagogical design. The current study evaluated the impact of instructional architecture (direct instruction vs. constructive-based) on middle (n = 333)
and secondary (n = 389) school student attitudes…

Manning, Flori H.; Lawless, Kimberly A. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2011
The present study examined students' first impressions of different aesthetic treatments for the same web-based lesson about the experiences of British soldiers during World War I as expressed through examples of trench poetry. Holding site content and functionality constant, the interface design's visual presentation was manipulated along two…

Masters, Jessica; Madhyastha, Tara; Shakouri, Ali – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2008
ExplaNet is a web-based, anonymous, asynchronous explanation-sharing network. Instructors post questions to the network and students submit explanatory answers. Students then view and rank the explanations submitted by their peers before optionally resubmitting a final and revised answer. Three classroom evaluations of ExplaNet showed that by…

Wallace, Tary; Grinnell, Lynn; Carey, Lou; Carey, James – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2006
Faculty teaching distance courses continuously seek ways to maximize learning for students. Two practice with feedback strategies were examined in this study for their impact on students' achievement and attitudes in an upper-division university level web-based course. One format contained higher structure and dialog creating lower transactional…

Ballard, Sharon; Stapleton, Joy; Carroll, Elizabeth – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2004
The use of technology in university and college classrooms has changed in recent years to include the use of course Web sites as a supplement to face-to-face instruction (Green, 2000). Despite this increase in the use of course Web sites in college courses, limited attention has been given to student perceptions of this pedagogical tool. This…

Byers, Celina – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2001
Discusses learner-centered active assessment, or interactive assessment, and applies it to an instructional design course that used WebCT (a Web-based authoring/management tool) to support a face-to-face classroom setting. Highlights include a definition of classroom assessment; and results of pretests and posttests, class surveys, and course…

Geelan, David R.; Taylor, Peter C. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2004
Computer mediated communication--including web pages, email and web-based bulletin boards--was used to support the development of a cooperative learning community among students in a web-based distance education unit for practicing science and mathematics educators. The students lived in several Australian states and a number of Pacific Rim…

Glenn, Lowell M.; Jones, Christopher G.; Hoyt, Jeff E. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2003
This analysis examined the contrasts between online and traditional delivery methods in terms of the impact on student learning and satisfaction for similar course material. It built on the work of other researchers who have asked these types of questions for individual courses and relatively small sample sizes. However, this analysis expanded the…
