Sangin, M.; Dillenbourg, P.; Rebetez, Cyril; Betrancourt, Mireille; Molinari, Gaelle – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
This paper focuses on the interaction patterns of learners studying in pairs who were provided with multimedia learning material. In a previous article, we reported that learning scores were higher for dyads of an "animations" condition than for dyads of a "static pictures" condition. Results also showed that offering a persistent display of one…

Flexibility in Macro-Scripts for Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dillenbourg, P.; Tchounikine, P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
In the field of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), scripts are designed to support collaboration among distant learners or co-present learners whose interactions are (at least partially) mediated by a computer. The rationale of scripts is to structure collaborative learning processes in order to trigger group interactions that may…

Evaluation of Hypertext in an Activity Learning Environment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Scherly, D.; Roux, L.; Dillenbourg, P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2000
Evaluates the use and efficiency of two computer learning tools for basic virology. "VIROLAB" is a simulation of a biology laboratory which also includes a hypertext providing learners with some knowledge on virology. The Hypertext is a version of the hypertext in VIROLAB. The study examined which of the two was most efficient for knowledge…
