Examining Taiwanese University Students' Multimodal Multiple Text Comprehension: Individual Differences and Epistemic Prompting
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lee, Yuan-Hsuan; Hong, Huang-Yao – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study investigated multimodal multiple text comprehension (MMTC) among forty-eight Taiwanese university students, considering their cognitive and affective characteristics. A randomized trial with pre- and post-tests design was applied. The experiment group received a browser-embedded note-taking device along with epistemic prompting. The…

Kai-Yi Chin; Ching-Sheng Wang – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
This study developed a VR-based mobile learning system to simulate the natural environment of a geopark for university students to learn geological knowledge. This learning method used a Google cardboard equipped with smartphones, where students can watch stereoscopic scenes and experience virtual environments as if visiting the geopark. In order…

Effects of Different Text Display Types on Reading Comprehension, Sustained Attention and Cognitive Load in Mobile Reading Contexts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chen, Chih-Ming; Lin, Yu-Ju – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
Despite the popularity of mobile reading devices, many studies have indicated that small screens restrict information transmission, adversely affecting reading performance on mobile devices. Moreover, mobile reading typically occurs in different reading contexts. Therefore, suitable text display type for mobile reading in different reading…

Learning by Creating: Letting the Student Do the Work.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kemp, R. H.; Stewart, T.; Fung, I. P. W.; Orban, B. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2002
There is evidence to suggest that mature students learn particularly effectively in a problem-solving environment, and that they appear to be especially responsive to analogies and metaphors. Three examples are given of domains where the student has to convert a formulation into an equivalent diagram. Arguably, the process of performing this…
