Journal ArticleDOI
The ChemCollective—Virtual Labs for Introductory Chemistry Courses
TL;DR: A collection of online activities emphasizes the design and interpretation of experiments that form the underlying procedural knowledge base from which the “real stuff” can be approached.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficiency of worked examples compared to erroneous examples, tutored problem solving, and problem solving in computer-based learning environments
TL;DR: In two multi-session classroom experiments in the domain of chemistry, worked examples proved to be the most efficient: study time reductions with worked examples were between 46 and 69% compared to the other instructional approaches.
Book ChapterDOI
Exploring the assistance dilemma: Comparing instructional support in examples and problems
TL;DR: In this never-before conducted comparison of the four instructional materials, it is found that worked examples are the most efficient instructional material in terms of time and mental effort spent on the intervention problems, but it is not found that the materials differentially benefitted learners of high and low prior knowledge levels.
Book ChapterDOI
How Much Assistance Is Helpful to Students in Discovery Learning
TL;DR: It appears that students in the tutored condition had just the right amount of assistance, and that the better students in that condition used their superior metacognitive skills and/or motivation to decide when to use the available assistance to their best advantage.
Book ChapterDOI
The dynamics between student affect and behavior occurring outside of educational software

TL;DR: It is found that off-task behavior co-occurs with boredom, but appears to relieve boredom, leading to significantly lower probability of later boredom, and that on-task conversation leads to greater future probability of engaged concentration.
