HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION (HCI) FACTORS IN TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LEARNING Linda Crearie Today there is
an increasing emphasis on technology in the learning process. There
may therefore be benefit in considering how lessons from Human
Computer Interaction (HCI) can be applied to improve student
engagement in learning. HCI provides many relevant theories that are
significant in the context of learning and retrieval of knowledge as
well as influences that are significant in relation to pedagogies.
Research, including work on making training and technology
interactive, suggests that when users are properly cognitively
involved, engaged, and challenged the outcomes are better.
Challenges include creating memorable learning experiences to
encourage long lasting mental representations that enhance learning. |
