Kapros, Evangelos – International Online Journal of Primary Education, 2018
Fitts' Law is, more often than not, thought of as standard knowledge in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. However, in many occasions, interface components are being built by professionals with little or no knowledge of HCI principles (e.g., software menus are often being built by software developers with no designer input). How much…

Gulzar, Zameer; Leema, A. Anny – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2018
This article describes how with a non-formal education, a scholar has to choose courses among various domains to meet the research aims. In spite of this, the availability of large number of courses, makes the process of selecting the appropriate course a tedious, time-consuming, and risky decision, and the course selection will directly affect…

Murray, Susan L.; Phelps, Julie; Altabbakh, Hanan – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2018
It is common for college classes to contain basic information that must be mastered before learning more difficult concepts or applications. Many students struggle with learning facts, terms, or fundamental concepts; in some situations, students are even unsure about what they should study. Flashcards are a well-established educational aid for…

Krusche, Stephan; Dzvonyar, Dora; Xu, Han; Bruegge, Bernd – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
Modern capstone courses use agile methods to deliver and demonstrate software early in the project. However, a simple demonstration of functional and static aspects does not provide real-world software usage context, although this is integral to understand software requirements. Software engineering involves capabilities such as creativity,…

Hayes, Brett K.; Stephens, Rachel G.; Ngo, Jeremy; Dunn, John C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Three-experiments examined the number of qualitatively different processing dimensions needed to account for inductive and deductive reasoning. In each study, participants were presented with arguments that varied in logical validity and consistency with background knowledge (believability), and evaluated them according to deductive criteria…

Isotani, Seiji; Reis, Helena M.; Alvares, Danilo; Brandão, Anarosa A. F.; Brandão, Leônidas O. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2018
Interactive or Dynamic Geometry System (DGS) is a tool that help to teach and learn geometry using a computer-based interactive environment. Traditionally, the interaction with DGS is based on keyboard and mouse events where the functionalities are accessed using a menu of icons. Nevertheless, recent findings suggest that such a traditional model…
