This study investigates the role of basic elements of a learning context namely: the given tasks, the nature of the provided tools, and the pupils’ gender in their choice of tools provided by an open problem-solving computer environment. Pupils’...

This study focuses on the design of activity-based interfaces suitable for the learning of geometrical concepts in the context of Cabri Geometry II (Laborde, 1990). This design has emerged from a field study with real students aiming at the...

Abstract: This study focuses on the role of Multiple Representation System (MRS) in the expression of inter-individual learning differences in students. More specifically, thirty students participated in a comparative learning experiment on the...

This paper presents the design and the pilot evaluation study of learning activity-based, multi-media, multi-representational and multi-layered content for the learning of basic concepts of programming and C. This content is integrated into a web...

This study focuses on the potential of multiple-solution tasks in e-learning environments providing a variety of learning tools. This was presented through a multiple-solution-based example for the learning of the mathematical notion of angle in the ...

This paper focuses on the potential of integration of Multiple Learning Activities in Interactive Constructions (MLA-ICs), appropriate to support student learning of a specific learning subject. In fact, these constructions could be transformed...

This paper presents a multi-representational and real-life-activity based environment, the Starting with Algorithmic Structures (SAS) environment, designed for teaching the concept of algorithm and that of basic algorithmic structures to beginners....

This paper presents a multi-representational computer-based environment, the Starting with Parallel Processing (SPAP) environment, designed for learning the concept of parallel processing to beginners through the possibility of their both performing ...

This study considers a modeling methodology for the design of a computer based problem-solving environment (named L.E.C.G.O: Learning Environment for programming and C using Geometrical Objects) for the learning of computer programming and the...

This paper focuses on the design of learning tools that appropriately support 'Learning Design' (Koper and Tattersall, 2005). Specifically, these tools can be used in lesson planning to encourage the development of critical thinking in learners. In...

This study considers the role of a drawing multiple-representation based computer environment (named L.E.C.G.O: a Learning Environment for programming and C using Geometrical Objects) in beginners’ programming attempts to accomplish a multiple...

This paper presents a case study that illustrates the significance of using metaphors in the design of educational software through a specific example for the learning of basic concepts of Operating Systems (OS)by beginers.Constructivist and social...

This paper outlines some innovative solutions to the design of ‘collaborative learning patterns’ within the context of open source ‘learning design’ based e-learning systems. The proposed solutions emphasize the design and development of a set of...

This work presents a conceptual framework for ‘learning design’-based e-learning systems focusing on the role of the development of learners’ cognitive skills and critical thinking. To this end, an attempt has been made to map basic dimensions of...

Multiple representational educational software can assist students in their learning process in many ways. The main purpose of this paper is to present the design and implementation of an educational, multi-representational environment (named...
