Similarity and Difference in Fee-Paying and No-Fee Learner Expectations, Interaction and Reaction to Learning in a Massive Open Online Course
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cross, Simon; Whitelock, Denise – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
The new pedagogical opportunities that massive open online course (MOOC) learning environments offer for the teaching of fee-paying students on university-accredited courses are of growing interest to educators. This paper presents a case study from a postgraduate-taught course at the Open University, UK, where a MOOC performed the dual role of a…

Investigation of the Impact of Two Verbal Instruction Formats and Prior Knowledge on Student Learning in a Simulation-Based Learning Environment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Han-Chin; Chuang, Hsueh-Hua – Interactive Learning Environments, 2011
This study investigated how the format of verbal instructions in computer simulations and prior knowledge (PK) affected 8th graders' cognitive load (CL) level and achievement in a multimedia learning environment. Although PK was not found to significantly affect student performance and CL level, instruction format was found to impact both.…

Content and Timing of Feedback in a Web-Based Learning Environment: Effects on Learning as a Function of Prior Knowledge
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smits, Marieke H. S. B.; Boon, Jo; Sluijsmans, Dominique M. A.; van Gog, Tamara – Interactive Learning Environments, 2008
This study investigated the effectiveness of different types of feedback content (elaborate versus global) and feedback timing (immediate versus delayed) for learning genetics in a web-based learning environment as a function of learners' prior knowledge. It was hypothesized that learning outcomes of students with low prior knowledge would be…

Making Dynamic Modeling Accessible to Precollege Science Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jackson, Shari L.; And Others – Interactive Learning Environments, 1994
Discussion of dynamic modeling focuses on the development of a new modeling tool called Model-It which provides intentionally designed scaffolding for learners, enabling them to build and test dynamic models of complex systems using object-oriented and qualitative techniques. Classroom testing with high school students is described. (Author/LRW)
