Virtual Reality (VR) has demonstrated significant advantages in various educational fields as it allows learners to actively learn in high interactivity and realism under their learning pace. However, for low-achieving students, VR learning environments may introduce some challenges, which are problems encountered during their learning process,…

While "flipping" a classroom has gained attention in K-12 and Secondary school programs, there has been relatively no explicit focus on its effectiveness as a teaching method for instructional media design courses in Higher Education. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to determine the effectiveness of the flipped classroom…

This study investigated whether design guidelines for computer-based learning can be applied to computer-based testing (CBT). Twenty-two students completed a CBT exam with half of the questions presented in a split-screen format that was analogous to the original paper-and-pencil version and half in an integrated format. Results show that students…

An in-depth investigation of the relationship between media effectiveness, essentiality, and amount of study was presented. Overall, effectiveness explains 48% of the variation in the amount of study. Students who found the media more effective studied the media more. Those media that were more effective were studied more. The relationship between…

Paper deals with the question of classifying media in the context of teaching and learning processes. (Author)

Describes an instructional technique in which students study examples of problems that are worked out and identify principles that are involved; evaluation procedures are discussed. This technique could be used in most areas of conceptual science. (RAO)

A questionnaire was administered to 902 academics at two New Zealand universities to provide data on the use of seven media--chalkboards, whiteboards, slides, overhead projectors, sound recordings, films, and closed circuit television. Survey results and relationships between staff status and media use are discussed. (Author/RAO)

A discussion of an Open School which would provide a range of courses for the 16-19 age group through an integrated combination of methods and media, with its own examination system linked to the examination structures of secondary, further, and higher education. (Author)

Paper proposes how the impact of the mechanical and intellectual elements of technology on, and their application to education can be exploited to evolve a technology within education. (Author)

Describes the use of cassette recorders plus color prints as a teaching aid in a laboratory situation, indicating advantages in the areas of education, organization, and ease of implementation. (Author/RAO)

Black and white television is adequate for educational purposes. Color has an advantage over black and white in that it creates more emotional involvement, but only when the material to be taught is highly visual in both content and presentation. (LS)

This study comparing the relative effectiveness of learning methods shows that the combination of written instruction plus recorded demonstration is the most effective for inexperienced students; recorded demonstration proved to be more effective than written instructions when used separately.
