Hilz, Anna; Guill, Karin; Roloff, Janina; Aldrup, Karen; Köller, Olaf – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Although research on mathematics learning programs has taken off in recent years, little is known about how different person characteristics are related to practice behaviour with such programs. When implementing a mathematics learning program in the classroom, it might be important to know whether students with specific…

Paans, Cindy; Segers, Eliane; Molenaar, Inge; Verhoeven, Ludo – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
In the present study, we investigated whether online learning behaviours (navigation and writing activities) mediated the relation between learner characteristics (prior knowledge, vocabulary knowledge, working memory, and motivation) and declarative knowledge. Specifically, we investigated whether the quality of participants' written assignments…

Swinnerton, B.; Hotchkiss, S.; Morris, N. P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
This paper investigates the characteristics and behaviour of learners on nine Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on the FutureLearn platform in 2014 and 2015. FutureLearn's social constructivist approach, which emphasizes learning through social interaction, makes the focus on forum posting within these MOOCs particularly appropriate. This study…

Supporting Multimedia Learning with Visual Signalling and Animated Pedagogical Agent: Moderating Effects of Prior Knowledge
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Johnson, A. M.; Ozogul, G.; Reisslein, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
An experiment examined the effects of visual signalling to relevant information in multiple external representations and the visual presence of an animated pedagogical agent (APA). Students learned electric circuit analysis using a computer-based learning environment that included Cartesian graphs, equations and electric circuit diagrams. The…

Emotions and Multimedia Learning: The Moderating Role of Learner Characteristics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Knörzer, L.; Brünken, R.; Park, B. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
The Cognitive-Affective Theory of Learning with Media postulates that affective factors as well as individual learner characteristics impact multimedia learning. The present study investigated how experimentally induced positive and negative emotions influence multimedia learning and how learner characteristics moderated this impact. Results…

Song, H. S.; Kalet, A. L.; Plass, J. L. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2016
This study examined the direct and indirect effects of medical clerkship students' prior knowledge, self-regulation and motivation on learning performance in complex multimedia learning environments. The data from 386 medical clerkship students from six medical schools were analysed using structural equation modeling. The structural model revealed…
