What Works Clearinghouse Rating

Peterson, John M. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
To test the belief that good designers are the best judges of architectural design, 27 architecture students rated 15 architectural designs by other students. Instructors' ratings were criteria. As predicted, good student designers were not more accurate than poor student designers; average students were most accurate. (Author/SJL)

Gilliatt, Michael T. – Studies in Art Education, 1980
To identify an easy and effective method by which the classroom teacher can expand student art preferences, this study examined three suggested approaches: habituation; art criticism (Feldman-Mittler Methodology); and art production (studio activities). Combinations of these approaches were studied in interaction with students' grade level. (SJL)

Stover, Mark; Zink, Steven D. – RSR: Reference Services Review, 1996
A review of college and university library home pages concluded that many higher education home pages are badly designed, difficult to navigate, and a poor reflection on the institution. The most common shortcoming was the tendency to create too many links or overly large graphics. An appendix lists points to consider when constructing a home…

Van Aalst, J. W.; And Others – Computers & Education, 1995
An interactive multimedia tutorial system that focuses on the "why" aspect of user interface design is described. The system contains a design exercise, three experts for guidance, and a user group that comments on the usability of the design. Testing results indicate that learners consider more possible solutions to design issues. (Author/AEF)

Retalis, Symeon; Georgiakakis, Petros; Dimitriadis, Yannis – Computer Science Education, 2006
Design pattern creation, especially in the e-learning domain, is a highly complex process that has not been sufficiently studied and formalized. In this paper, we propose a systematic pattern development cycle, whose most important aspects focus on reverse engineering of existing systems in order to elicit features that are cross-validated through…

Schwier, Richard A.; Misanchuk, Earl R. – 1996
Dynamic discussions have begun to emerge concerning style of presentation on world wide web sites. Some hypertext markup language (HTML) designers seek an intimate and chatty ambience, while others want to project a more professional image. Evaluators see many sites as overdecorated and indecipherable. This paper offers suggestions on selecting…
