Cooper, Joel; Stone, Jeff
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v15 n1 p67-91 1996
Examines the effects of group gender composition and the use of nonverbal computer mediated communication on performance and motivation following a biology lesson which used a computer image of a human face. Subjects were boys and girls ages 10 to 15. Findings indicate that anxiety had opposite effects for boys and girls when the computer-animated tutor was present on the screen. (AEF)
