Helps and Hints for Learning with Web Based Learning Systems: The Role of Instructions

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3220))

Abstract

This study investigated the role of specific and unspecific tasks for learning declarative knowledge and skills with a web based learning system. Results show that learners with specific tasks where better for both types of learning. Nevertheless, not all kinds of learning outcomes were equally influenced by instruction. Therefore, instructions should be selected carefully in correspondence with desired learning goals.

This study was supported by German Research Foundation Grant KR 1057.
