Online information sources, such as pictures and animations on web pages are frequently used for complementing printed course material in educational contexts. The concurrent use of online and printed information sources by students, however, requires going back and forth between physically separated course material, such as a course book and a computer screen, thus leading to suboptimal learning outcomes. Compatible with the principles identified by the recent theoretical frameworks for multimedia learning, mobile technology provides learners with the opportunity to bring online and printed course material close together. Mobile phones make online information available within a small desktop space, in close proximity to printed course material. The challenges that are relevant to text input methods can be overcome by the 2D barcode technology. This study investigates the use of camera-equipped mobile phone and 2D barcode technology as an alternative to the use of computer screen for complementing printed course material. The results of the experimental investigation suggest that, by facilitating the access to online information sources by 2D barcode tags on course books, mobile phones have the potential to enhance learning.

An Eye-Tracking Analysis of Spatial Contiguity Effect in Educational Animations Altan, Tuğba; Çağıltay, Kürşat (Springer, 2015-01-01) The purpose of this study is to examine spatial contiguity effect on multimedia learning with an instructional animation using eye-tracking. The research method was experimental method and the study was conducted with a user group consisting of 12 participants (6 female and 6 male). The data collection tools were a demographic survey, a prior knowledge test, a retention test and an eye-tracker. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric statistics including Mann-Whitney...
Comparing the effect of tablet, desktop, paper-pencil based drill practices on spatial skills of vocational high school students Şenel, Hüseyin Can; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2019) The aim of this study is to compare the effect of using drill and practice applications in tablet computers, desktop computers and traditional paper-pencil booklets for enhancing the spatial skills of vocational high school students. For this aim a mixed-method design was used. Quantitative part was aimed to provide data about the development of spatial skills of three group and compare them. Additionally, qualitative part was aimed to seek how participants perceived about the tablet computer based drill-pr...
DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND EVALUATION OF AN ONLINE LEARNING MATERIAL TO SUPPORT THE READING COMPREHENSION PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES IN AN EXPOSITORY TEXT THROUGH TEACHING TECHNICAL VOCABULARY Doğan, Sibel; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2023-1-03) The present study aimed to uncover the design principles of an online learning material designed to support the reading comprehension performance of students with learning disabilities in an expository text through teaching vocabulary. Moreover, it explored the effectiveness of the online learning material on students’ reading comprehension and vocabulary test scores. The study employed design-based research with its three phases: analysis, design & development, and implementation & evaluation to seek answe...

Fusion of multimodal information for multimedia information retrieval Yılmaz, Turgay; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) An effective retrieval of multimedia data is based on its semantic content. In order to extract the semantic content, the nature of multimedia data should be analyzed carefully and the information contained should be used completely. Multimedia data usually has a complex structure containing multimodal information. Noise in the data, non-universality of any single modality, and performance upper bound of each modality make it hard to rely on a single modality. Thus, multimodal fusion is a practical approach...
