Klein, James D.; Salisbury, David F. – 1987
The effectiveness of learning paired associates from a computer-based drill strategy known as the progressive state drill was compared in this study with the effectiveness of having students use their own strategies with flashcards. Characteristics of the progressive state drill which make it a potentially effective drill and practice strategy for…

Schloss, Patrick J.; And Others – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1986
This study contrasted college-level computer assisted instruction modules with various ratios of higher cognitive to factual questions and highlights to determine the effectiveness of highlights and question formats. Results indicate that, regardless of the ratio of higher cognitive to factual questions, modules containing questions are superior…

Davis, H. Scott; And Others – 1989
This article reports the findings of a study which compared three methods for teaching freshmen at Indiana State University how to use the library's online catalog. The methods were: (1) video projection, which used a large screen video projection system and an IBM-PC to present a "live" search; (2) dual television monitors, which substituted two…

Kluger, Avraham N.; Adler, Seymour – Computers in Human Behavior, 1993
A controlled experimental study tested the relative effects of computer-mediated and person-mediated feedback on the task performance and motivation of 97 undergraduate students. Results show students prefer computer-mediated feedback, that feedback may reduce motivation, and that person-mediated feedback may debilitate the performance of…

Foell, Nelson A. – 1989
This study assessed the effect of an alternative delivery system using microcomputers. All 19 students enrolled in the University of Georgia's off-campus curriculum development course were assigned to the experimental group, and all 16 students taking the same course on campus were assigned to the control group. All students were vocational…
