Yankelevich, Eleonora – ProQuest LLC, 2017
A variety of computing devices are available in today's classrooms, but they have not guaranteed the effective integration of technology. Nationally, teachers have ample devices, applications, productivity software, and digital audio and video tools. Despite all this, the literature suggests these tools are not employed to enhance student learning…

Johnson, Amy M.; Butcher, Kirsten R.; Ozogul, Gamze; Reisslein, Martin – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2014
Novice learners are typically unfamiliar with abstract engineering symbols. They are also often unaccustomed to instructional materials consisting of a combination of text, diagrams, and equations. This raises the question of whether instruction on elementary electrical circuit analysis for novice learners should employ contextualized…
