Avenue ASL, an integrated software environment to capture, evaluate, self-assess, and manage American Sign Language (ASL) performance, is being developed at the University of Minnesota to improve student language learning and increase the efficiency ...

Traditional techniques of information visualization instruction through classroom display and theoretical presentation have become inadequate in providing learners with the educational opportunity of interactive engagement. Through advanced research ...

The traditional methodology of the instructional design field encompasses the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of instructional processes and products, also known as the life-cycle of design. However, to orient the field ...

In this brief paper we 1) present an overview of three online geography education environments (i.e. MSE, LGGT, and Geothentic) designed to help learners and instructors achieve the aforementioned instructional scenario, 2) use a lens of design...

GeoThentic, an online teaching and learning environment, focuses on engaging teachers and learners in solving real-world geography problems through use of geospatial technologies. The design of GeoThentic is grounded on the technology, pedagogy, and ...

Adventure learning (AL) provides learners with opportunities to explore real-world issues through authentic learning experiences within collaborative online learning environments. This paper reports on an AL program, designed using Keller’s ARCS...

This paper describes a revised adventure learning framework for online learning that is a result of numerous online programs, over six years of research, and millions of students using programs that have been designed, developed, and delivered under ...
