• Different Dimensions of Learning
• Instructional Practices
• Information Processing
• Social Interaction Tendencies
• Influence of Personality
What’s your process for putting
together a puzzle? Borders 1st?
Or more by concept,
color….?

Student Involvement
 Took 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
▪ an interactive tutorials
Usability Interviews by Students
Used Camtasia
software to
record their
mouse
movements
Asked to
talk through
their actions
(voice was
recorded)
Pre- and
posttests.
Asked to
go
through
2-3
tutorials
Student Results- Ability to Recreate Steps
Static Tutorial Results
“good to show
us how to do
something”
Voki
Camtasia Tutorial
Results
“good to explain
a concept”
Tutorial with Text Based
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.
Camtasia Version

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)
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.
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.
What Students Want
Text: Bold, Highlight, Bullets, Arrows
Images: Large, high resolution
Clearly defined sections
Additional information available if needed
Keep information inside the images
Net Generation
Short,
concise,
practical
bits of
information
Use of
familiar/
relevant
resources
Active;
kinesthetic
learning–
innovative
technology
Individualized
through
personal
contact and
feedback
Suggestions
Make learning objects intuitive to learners
Use short
Standardize
language
20 - 30
and color second video
schemes
clips
Use
captioning
for audio
Create ways
to emphasize
main ideas
(pop-ups)

Video Clip and Practice Options
Pick and Choose
Assessing steps to take
Many User Options
Next Steps for Our Tutorials
• Create more mash-ups that incorporate images, sound, and
text into one learning object.
• Cease talking when a pop-up appears to allow time to read
and reflect on the message
• Create an opening scenario or “choose a character” to help
them relate to the experience.
• More Interactivity: Options for them to “try it out”, including
“drag and drop” elements, choose an answer, reflect and
provide a response, brief quizzes, games and consequences.
Modifications Continued
• Visual cues so users know what they can do (such as arrows ,
animation cues, extra tips) to alert them what to do next and
where to click.
• More auditory cues will be used to provide positive and negative
feedback through sound, such as dings and buzzes.
• Scenarios to help engage the student and make the material more
relevant to them.
• Chapter markers for students who want to pick and choose
sections, as well as to be able to easily go back and review
something
Mismatch – Students Want
Variety of tools
that engage
Multiple paths
to information
Interactive
opportunities
Yet 63% of
librarian survey
respondents did
not provide tools
for multiple
modalities
Yet 72% of
respondents
did not provide
for multiple
paths
Yet 52% did not
provide these
and only 6%
provided them in
every tutorial
What Was Your #1 Take-away From This Talk?
1. It’s important to incorporate
multiple options in tutorials
2. Video tutorials aren’t effective
for all students
3. Perhaps librarians should
assess their tools with
students
