Dib, Hazar; Adamo-Villani, Nicoletta; Garver, Stephen – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2014
Many benefits have been claimed for visualizations, a general assumption being that learning is facilitated. However, several researchers argue that little is known about the cognitive value of graphical representations, be they schematic visualizations, such as diagrams or more realistic, such as virtual reality. The study reported in the paper…

Pan, Rui; Kuo, Shih-Ping; Strobel, Johannes – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2013
The purpose of this study is to investigate student designers' attitude and choices towards the use of computers and paper sketches when involved in a graphic design process. 65 computer graphic technology undergraduates participated in this research. A mixed method study with survey and in-depth interviews was applied to answer the research…

Soh, Leen-Kiat; Fowler, David; Zygielbaum, Art I. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2008
Affinity Learning is a system that allows the user to build a lesson on a subject matter by breaking it down into concepts, misconceptions, assessments, and remediation steps. Examples and questions can also used in these components. Affinity Learning has been found to be effective and can offer critical insights to student learning strategies.…

Aspillaga, Macarena – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1991
Describes a study of undergraduates that examined the effects on retention of the screen location of information displayed in computer-assisted instruction (CAI) for Spanish. Three treatment groups are described: (1) text was relevant to graphical information; (2) text was at the upper middle section of the screen; and (3) text was random. (32…

Knupfer, Nancy Nelson; McIsaac, Marina Stock – 1991
This investigation of the use of white space in print-based, computer-generated text focused on the point at which the white space interferes with reading speed and comprehension. It was hypothesized that reading speed and comprehension would be significantly greater when text was wrapped tightly around the graphic than when it had one-half inch…
