Abstract Rapid developments in educational technology higher education are intended to make learning more engaging and effective. At the same time, cognitive load theory stresses limitations of human architecture urges developers design tools that optimise learners’ mental capacities. In a 2-month study we investigated university students’ with an AI-enriched digital biology textbook integrates...

The discrete anatomy of the eye's intricate oculomotor system is conceptually difficult for novice students to grasp. This is problematic given that this group of muscles represents one of the most common sites of clinical intervention in the treatment of ocular motility disorders and other eye disorders. This project was designed to develop a digital, interactive, three-dimensional (3D) model ...

Passwords are commonly used for authentication. System architects generally put in place password policies that define the required length of a password, the complexity requirements of the password, and the expiration (if ever) of the password. Password policies are designed with the intent of helping users choose secure passwords, and in the case of password expiration, limit the potential dam...

Purpose As online course enrollments increase, it is important to understand how common features influence students' behaviors and performance. Asynchronous courses often include a discussion forum promote community through interaction between students instructors. Students interact both socially cognitively; instructors' engagement demonstrates social or teaching presence. Students' in the dis...

A literature review revealed that students learning computational thinking (CT) via Scratch often require substantial teacher support. We surveyed grade 6-9 teachers to learn their perceptions of student engagement with CT and how well needs are met by existing systems. The results led us extend the trend balancing Scratch’s agency structure better serve learners reduce burden on aiming teach C...

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the video on demand learning system. This study integrated the thematic instructional strategy into interactive video-based instruction based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning and investigated the participant’s reflection and learning performance through post-test, IMMS and the experimental teaching activities. Under the self-co...

Abstract: Addressing the simulating issue of the helicopter-manipulating booster aerodynamic load with high-frequency dynamic load superimposed on a large static load, this paper studies the design of the robust controller for the electro-hydraulic loading system to realize the simulation of this kind of load. Firstly, the equivalent linear model of the electro-hydraulic loading system under as...

This study aims to determine the cognitive load of students in online-based plant anatomy learning. The research was conducted at Biology Education Study Program a State University Palembang, Indonesia. subjects were (n=73) who contracted course. instrument used students' mental effort understanding material is questionnaire with Likert scale five answer choices: very easy (VE), (E), moderate (...

How can cognitive load in visual displays of computer simulations be optimized? Middle-school chemistry students (N 257) learned with a simulation of the ideal gas law. Visual complexity was manipulated by separating the display of the simulations in 2 screens (low complexity) or presenting all information on 1 screen (high complexity). The mode of visual representation in the simulation was ma...

The Cognitive-Affective Theory of Learning with Media framework posits that the multimedia learning process is mediated by the learner’s mood. Recent studies have shown that positive mood has a facilitating effect on multimedia learning. Though literature has shown that negative mood encourages an individual to engage in a more systematic, elaborate, and analytical cognitive processing, this ef...
