This paper examines the transferability of successful cueing approaches from text and static
visualization research to animations. Theories of visual attention and learning as well as …

In a systematic review, 194 studies on learning from animation were analysed. The analysis
covers the learning domains, the representational characteristics of the animations, the …

Cognitive load is a theoretical notion with an increasingly central role in the educational
research literature. The basic idea of cognitive load theory is that cognitive capacity in …

This article revisits measure of instructional efficiency, which can be applied by educational
researchers to compare the effects of different instructional conditions on learning. This …

Informed by the cognitive theory of multimedia learning, this study examined the effects of
three multimedia design principles on undergraduate students' learning outcomes and …

Dynamic visualisations capture aspects of scientific phenomena that are difficult to
communicate in static materials and benefit from well-designed scaffolds to succeed in …

Arithmetic word problems are often presented accompanied by illustrations. The present
study examined how different types of illustrations influence the speed and accuracy of …

In two experiments, we investigated how learners comprehend the functioning of a three-
pulley system from a presentation on a computer screen. In the first experiment (N= 62) we …

Context Animations can depict dynamic changes over time and location, and illustrate
phenomena and concepts that might otherwise be difficult to visualise. However, animations …

In this review we argue that interactivity can be effective in video-based models to engage
learners in relevant cognitive processes. We do not treat modeling as an isolated …
