Hsiao, Shih-Wen; Wang, Ming-Feng; Chen, Chien-Wie – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2017
Creativity is a critical aspect of competitiveness in all trades and professions. In the case of designers, creativity is of the utmost importance. Based on the perspective of industrial design, the relationship between creativity and time pressure was investigated in this study using control and experimental groups. In the first part of the…

Hausmann, Robert G. M.; VanLehn, Kurt – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2010
Self-explaining is a domain-independent learning strategy that generally leads to a robust understanding of the domain material. However, there are two potential explanations for its effectiveness. First, self-explanation generates additional "content" that does not exist in the instructional materials. Second, when compared to…

Verstegen, Danielle; Barnard, Yvonne; Pilot, Albert – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2008
In many cases advanced instructional products, such as computer-based training, e-learning programs, simulations, and simulators are not designed by experienced instructional designers, but by novices: subject matter experts, teachers, instructors, or inexperienced designers. The literature indicates that these novices do not always have the…

Dupont, Daniel; Stolovitch, Harold D. – Performance and Instruction, 1983
Describes the process by which Learner Verification and Revision (LVR) transforms information gathered during learner verification into revision prescriptions for the development of instructional materials. Robinson's and Gropper's procedural models for formative evaluation are also discussed and a study comparing the effectiveness of materials…

Morrison, Gary R. – Educational Communication and Technology, 1986
Describes study that investigated the communicability of the emotional connotation of various typefaces. Typographers, student instructional technologists, and naive readers (high school and college students) rated 30 typefaces using a semantic differential scale. Seven hypotheses tested are discussed and results are analyzed. (Author/LRW)

Selvadurai, Ranjani H. – 1986
The purpose of this study was to develop, implement, and evaluate an audiotape and accompanying handouts on hemodynamics as a supplemental teaching aid in the Health Science Learning Center of New York City Technical College. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference between the mean examination grade on hemodynamics of…

Wiesenberg, Faye; Baine, David – Canadian Journal of Educational Communication, 1994
Describes a systematic method for producing pictures to accompany textual instructional materials. The resulting instructional design model is then used in an attribute by treatment interaction study of post-secondary school students that was designed to investigate the role of analogical pictures in adult learners' acquisition of higher level…

Marcone, Stephen; Reigeluth, Charles M. – Educational Communication and Technology Journal, 1988
Discusses study that investigated whether or not the teaching of matched examples and nonexamples in the form of common errors could improve student performance in undergraduate music theory courses. Highlights include hypotheses tested, pretests and posttests, and suggestions for further research with different age groups. (19 references)…

Chinien, Chris A. – Canadian Journal of Educational Communication, 1990
Describes study designed to determine the effectiveness of field dependence/independence as a student selection criterion for one-to-one formative evaluation of instructional materials. Hypotheses tested are discussed, the computer-assisted instructional material evaluated and revised is described, and suggestions for further research are given.…

Christel, Michael G. – Human-Computer Interaction, 1994
Describes an experiment that was conducted using a digital video course to determine the effects of multimedia interface capabilities on computer-assisted instruction, particularly on recall performance and attitude. Results are reported that indicate motion video is more effective than slides, and design guidelines are suggested. (34 references)…
