Student InvolvementTook Two Learning Style Inventories
Index of Learning Style Inventory▪ http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html (NC State)
Vark Questionnaire (How do I Learn Best)▪ http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=questionnaire
▪ Went through two to three tutorials ▪ a web page static tutorial to learn how to get to and use ERIC▪ a camtasia tutorial to learn how to get to and find a database
through Online Research Resources

Usability Interviews by Students
Used Camtasia
software to record their
mouse movements
Asked to talk
through their
actions (voice was recorded)
Pre- and post- tests.
Asked to go
through two
tutorials

Student Results- Ability to Recreate Steps
Static Tutorial Results
Camtasia Tutorial Results

Static Tutorial Results
– Scrolled up and down the page to see all the sections and what was required
– Viewed images (rarely read the text)– Opened a new window to practice while
they viewed the web page– Went back to web page for information– Most successful in finding information
after this.
![Page 34: Matching Up Learning Styles With Learning Objects: What's Effective?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/554dc40db4c905c7488b4f64/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Camtasia Version
UIUC Tutorials http://www.library.illinois.edu/diglit/tutorial/index.html
![Page 35: Matching Up Learning Styles With Learning Objects: What's Effective?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/554dc40db4c905c7488b4f64/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Camtasia Results• Watched without practicing• Couldn’t recreate process• Didn’t attempt to go back for
assistance• Only two students were successful in
the post test (graduate Asian students)
![Page 36: Matching Up Learning Styles With Learning Objects: What's Effective?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/554dc40db4c905c7488b4f64/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Recommended Features
• Pop-ups to highlight important information
• Sections (chapter markings)• Questions to engage the mind• Interactivity, have students do
something• Prefer the static web page to a video
tutorial- more efficient– include other multimedia as options within the web page.
![Page 37: Matching Up Learning Styles With Learning Objects: What's Effective?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/554dc40db4c905c7488b4f64/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Results- Student Usability Study
Multiple Modalities
• All but one had high rankings for multiple modalities.
• All but one preferred the step-by-step process.• Students wanted to skim the whole thing first
then find the key items .

SuggestionsMake learning objects intuitive to
learnersStandardi
ze language and color schemes
Use short 10-15
second video clips
Use captionin
g for audio
Create ways to
emphasize main ideas
(pop-ups)
![Page 50: Matching Up Learning Styles With Learning Objects: What's Effective?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/554dc40db4c905c7488b4f64/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Use step by step instructions (sequential learners)– chunking
Use Voice narration (provides
communication cues)
Use visual and audio
components
![Page 51: Matching Up Learning Styles With Learning Objects: What's Effective?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/554dc40db4c905c7488b4f64/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Net Generation
Short, concise, practical bits of
information
Use of familiar/relevant resources
Active; kinesthetic learning– innovative
technology
Individualized through personal contact and
feedback
![Page 52: Matching Up Learning Styles With Learning Objects: What's Effective?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081511/554dc40db4c905c7488b4f64/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
