Research carried out so far has failed to establish systematic learning benefits of animated
graphics over static ones, even in the case of dynamic systems. We hypothesize that …

This paper compares the effects of graphical study aids and animation on the problem-
solving performance of students learning computer algorithms. Prior research has found …

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 …

Dynamic subject matter can be portrayed to learners in the form of either static or dynamic
depictions. Two plausible bases for choosing a depiction format are alignment with the …

The effects of dynamic and static visualizations in understanding physical principles of fish
locomotion were investigated. Seventy-five students were assigned to one of three …

One of the key innovations that educational technology has made available is new forms of
representations, such as animation, multimedia, and virtual reality. Each new representation …

In the modern age of education, students increasingly demand engaging, customized
multimedia content. Animation constitutes a powerful pedagogical tool by combining audio …

We investigated whether students' understanding of line graphs can be improved by means
of dynamic visualisations. The visualisations were designed to help students relate motion …

In two experiments, we investigated how animation of play (soccer) should be designed in
order to avoid the high cognitive load due to the fleeting nature of information. Using static …

This quantitative study compared the instructional effects of two web-based animation
strategies against static graphics by high and low prior knowledge participants. One strategy …
