Background: This study investigates the effect of immersion levels in virtual reality (VR) learning environments on the acquisition of declarative and procedural knowledge. Prior research indicates that immersion affects cognitive load, but its impact on declarative and procedural knowledge outcomes remains unclear. This study utilises a…

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of structure and navigation aids on students' learning from hypertexts. Participants were 48 undergraduate students. Group 1 (N = 24) read 2 hypertexts (one network, one hierarchical) with high navigation support (a graphical overview, a coherent links list, and use of different colours for visited…

The purpose of the present study was to examine The Effectiveness of the Infographic Pattern through the Interactive Smart Board on the Creative Thinking of Educational Technology Students: A Cognitive Load Perspective. This study utilized the quasi experimental type methodology. The independent variables were the Infographic Pattern methods (text…

This experimental study examined the effects of segmentation and self-explanation designs on cognitive load in instructional videos. Four types of instructional videos (segmentation, self-explanation, combined, and control) were created and tested by 121 undergraduate students randomly assigned to one of four research groups. The results of…

This study aims at proposing an integrated model based on the technology acceptance model, the information system success model, cognitive load theory, and personal characteristics to predict students' continued intention to reuse Google Classroom in the context of a developing country. To achieve this, we conducted quantitative research,…

This study aimed to examine sustainable effects of chatbot-based formative feedback on intrinsic motivation, cognitive load, and learning performance. A longitudinal quasi-experimental design with 173 undergraduate students was conducted. The experiment is a between-subject design. Students either received formative feedback from a chatbot or a…

The pervasive use of information and computer technology in second or foreign language learning has led researchers to explore the ideal tasks for technological environments to facilitate second language (L2) learning. This study intended to contribute new knowledge to this area by examining the effects of the task complexity manipulated along the…

The goal of the current study was to investigate the effects of an immersive virtual reality (IVR) science simulation on learning in a higher educational setting, and to assess whether using self-explanation has benefits for knowledge gain. A sample of 79 undergraduate biology students (40 females, 37 males, 2 non-binary) learned about…

Literature emphasized the importance of quality antecedents on the successful implementation of MOOCs. However, rare studies are available on how to examine the quality antecedents in the MOOC context. Thus, the objective of this study is to assess the impact of quality antecedents on satisfaction toward MOOC. This study is mainly quantitative,…

Since the beginning of the development of massive open online courses (MOOCs), these and other online learning environments have been considered as potential partial solutions to some persistent problems in higher education. These learning environments, while they have great educational value, have not been as effective as they could be, because…

Video tutorials substantially support demonstration-based training where the main goal is to enhance procedural knowledge by observing various understandable examples of performing a task. Although video tutorials are broadly popular nowadays, little attention is given to the design features of an instructional tutorial. The aim of this study is…

The current student body will, by and large, seek online resources to supplement their learning. However, resources that are freely available online vary in accuracy and quality, and the vast majority rely on passive learning. Therefore, there is a need for interactive physiology teaching resources that facilitate application of knowledge, that…

This article compares and contrasts the use of haptic and digital sketching in the design process. It investigates the preferred sketching method of final year design students. In addition, it examines the relationship between effective communication and the use of haptic and digital sketching. A case study involving ten final year students…

Functions form a central part of the U.S. mathematics curriculum. A large body of research shows that students at all levels, including preservice secondary mathematics teachers, have difficulties with defining function as a correspondence between two sets with a univalence condition. Those difficulties include privileging algebraic…

Purpose: By using a technology acceptance model (TAM) on survey results collected from two member schools of a Vietnamese educational institution, this study aims to uncover the key factors that affect students' acceptance of e-learning during the COVID-19 period. Design/methodology/approach: A bilingual questionnaire in English and Vietnamese was…
