Providing visual instructional aids, such as maps and visual orientation cues, in Hypermedia Learning Systems (HLS) has been argued to reduce the disorientation experienced by learners with specific individual differences. In turn, it has been suggested that providing such aids may lead to improvements in learning performance and learner attitude.…

It was not known if, or to what extent, there was a statistically significant difference in intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and self-regulated learning (SRL) between degree-seeking adult learners who passed versus those who failed, were at-risk of failing, or dropped their most recent online mathematics course in the United States.

Scientific research on mobile learning and its implications on humanistic education has grown tremendously. Within the context of an overview of its forerunners (i.e. educational technology) and critical characteristics concerning the humanistic perspective in education, bibliometric findings on mobile learning publications in humanistic education…

Three experiments examine how providing learning style information (a student learns hands-on or visually) might influence thinking about that student's academic potential. Samples were American and predominately white and middle-class. In Experiment 1, parents (N = 94) and children (N = 73, 6-12 years) judged students who learn visually as more…
