Perez, Roberto; Solomon, Howard – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2005
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a Socratic animated agent on user performance in a computer-based CD player disassembly simulation. Vocational Education students were randomly assigned to one of two versions of the simulation. One version offered text-based feedback in the form of statements; the other one featured an…

Rieber, Lloyd P.; Tzeng, Shyh-Chii; Tribble, Kelly – Learning and Instruction, 2004
The purpose of this research was to explore how adult users interact and learn during an interactive computer-based simulation supplemented with brief multimedia explanations of the content. A total of 52 college students interacted with a computer-based simulation of Newton's laws of motion in which they had control over the motion of a simple…

Aegerter-Wilmsen, Tinri; Kettenis, Dik; Sessink, Olivier; Hartog, Rob; Bisseling, Ton; Janssen, Fred – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2006
Computer simulations can facilitate the building of models of natural phenomena in research, such as in the molecular life sciences. In order to introduce molecular life science students to the use of computer simulations for model building, a digital case was developed in which students build a model of a pattern formation process in…

Rieber, Lloyd P.; And Others – 1996
The purpose of this study was to explore how adult users interact and learn during a computer-based simulation given visual and verbal forms of feedback coupled with embedded elaborations of the content. A total of 52 college students interacted with a computer-based simulation of Newton's laws of motion in which they had control over the motion…
