Online learning becomes one of the most common educational methods during Covid-19 pandemic. There occurred too many issues and challenges during online education. The absence of pedagogical approaches caused ineffective courses to facilitate learning of students. While designing lectures, instructors should consider the cognitive load of students. The more increased cognitive load leads to ineffective learning outcomes. There are many ways to reduce cognitive load when designing instructional online courses. Advance organizers are one of the pedagogical tools that are used to reduce cognitive load of students. For a long time, advance organizers are used to help students organize their cognitive architecture by linking students’ prior knowledge and new learning material. In this study, the use of different types of advance organizers which are narrative and graphical advance organizers are investigated. Sequential explanatory design model is used with the 15 undergraduate students who registered the course entitled Research Methods‖ in a public university participated to the study. Qualitative data are collected to get more detail of quantitative data results. In order to reveal students’ opinion about different advance organizers, a mixed method research design was conducted. To analyze the results, paired sample t - test was used to test students' performance on the achievement test. T-test results showed that there is no significant difference between two AOs on achievement test scores. In addition, as a follow up, 5 participants were invited to answer open ended questions and interview. The constant comparison method was used to analyze qualitative data. The quantitative analyze results showed that students take advantage from both types of AO. The results indicated that the mean of graphical AO score (M = 6.87, SD = 2.13) was not significantly different than the mean of narrative type AO score (M = 6.80, SD = 2.04), t(14) = .096, p < .01. Qualitative analyze helped to get deeper understanding of students’ opinions about usage of AO. Students pointed out that graphical AOs are useful to catch key point during course, process learning content and connect concepts.

Intelligent learning system for online learning
Serçe, Fatma Cemile; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Jain, Lakhmi (2008-10-01)
The paper presents an Adaptive Intelligent Learning System (AILS) designed to be used with any Learning Management System (LMS). The adaptiveness provides uniquely identifying and monitoring the learner's learning process according to the learner's profile. AILS has been implemented as a multi-agent system. The agents were developed as JADE agents. The paper presents the learning model, system components, agent behavior in learner scenarios, the ontologies used in agent communications, and the adaptive stra...
Investigation of Using Online Video Case Discussions in Teacher Education: Sources of Evidence of Mathematics Learning
Osmanoglu, Aslihan; Koç, Yusuf; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2013-03-01)
The purpose of this study was to explore pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers' analyses of student learning in a video case of mathematics instruction via an online learning forum. The study was conducted in the context of three different mathematics methods courses in a 4-year college in the Midwestern United States. Twenty-six students (19 undergraduate and 7 master's students) participated in the study. As a course assignment, the participants were asked to watch and discuss a video case of ma...
Design of a problem-based online learning environment and evaluation of its effectiveness
Gündüz, Abdullah Yasin; Alemdağ, Ecenaz; Yaşar, Sevil; Erdem, Mukaddes (2017-07-01)
Problem-based learning approach present several advantages such as improving students’ engagement in learning and fostering their higher-order thinking skills. Although there is a plethora of research regarding implementation of problem-based learning in classrooms, its design and application process for web-based environments need further investigation because of independent nature of online settings. This study developed a problem-based online learning environment based on constructivist learning design m...
Explicit diversification of search results across multiple dimensions for educational search
Yigit-Sert, Sevgi; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Macdonald, Craig; Ounis, Iadh; ULUSOY, ÖZGÜR (Wiley, 2020-09-01)
Making use of search systems to foster learning is an emerging research trend known assearch as learning. Earlier works identified result diversification as a useful technique to support learning-oriented search, since diversification ensures a comprehensive coverage of various aspects of the queried topic in the result list. Inspired by this finding, first we define a new research problem, multidimensional result diversification, in the context of educational search. We argue that in a search engine for th...
Posting Patterns of Students' Social Presence, Cognitive Presence, and Teaching Presence in Online Learning
Kilis, Selcan; Yıldırım, Zahide (2019-06-01)
Using the Community of Inquiry framework, this case study probes the posting patterns of students' social presence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence in an online learning setting. Using purposive sampling, qualitative data were collected from 91 students in the Department of Medical Documentary and Secretary, a fully online associate degree program at a well-known public university. Students participated in six online asynchronous discussion activities on Moodle. The data were analyzed through desc...
