this experimental study examined the effectiveness of using focused and unfocused tasks on iranianintermediate efl learners’ performance in producing noun, adjective, and adverb clauses. in addition,the aim of this study was to explore the effects of form-focused instruction and the feedback studentsreceived from their teacher after doing focused grammar tasks. data consisted of the scores ofth...

This paper describes a successful project using computer animation to teach the concepts of microprogramming to lower division computer science majors. The students write a simulator for the Mic-1 horizontal microcontroller described in the book Structured Computer Organization by Andrew Tanenbaum. The simulation is enhanced by the use of a graphical representation of the machine to animate the...

the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of observing animated model, static images and combined model on motor learning of handstand balance skill. 45 subjects (mean age 8.03±1.7 yr) were randomly divided into three experimental groups: observation of animated model, static images, combined model. subjects trained handstand balance skill for three weeks (three sessions per week)....

Figure 3: General architecture of the animation system The planner uses information from the general schema, such as preconditions and post-assertions, as well as information derived from the agents' capabilities and the objects properties to fill in these gaps in several ways: • to select the way (activity) in which the instruction is performed (enter by walking, by swimming , etc.); • to dete...

Animations and visualized lecture video with audio have become most valuable contents in online instruction. Having the necessary skill sets to produce those contents is not an easy task, especially for instructors who are going to teach online course first time. This article shows detailed how-to tutorials for someone who is novice or never used LaTex before to produce PDFs including animation...

Since the complex and transient information in instructional animations requires more cognitive resources, the segmenting principle has been proposed to reduce cognitive overload by providing smaller chunks with pauses between segments. This study examined the effects of different types of activities during pauses in a segmented animation. Four groups were asked to do different tasks in system-...

with regard to the impossibility of preparing learners for each situation that they might encounter in their life, it is more logical to teach them how to cope with unexpected challenges. helping learners ‘learn how to help themselves’ can be facilitated by means of tasks and activities in the classroom context. this paper presents some of the find- ings of a study on iranian young learners bet...
