Does visual and kinesthetic learner-content interaction facilitated learning better, than visual interaction alone? Come to Daniel Hoffman’s session “Learning through Cross-modal Interaction in Digital Environments” to hear about impact of bodily experience on learning in digital learning environments!

Does verbal feedback accompanied by semantically related images benefit learning? Come to Albert Dieter Ritzhaupt and Villiam Kealy’s presentation “Impact of Supplementing Verbal Feedback with Pictures during Story Recall.” Using 4 Group Factorial Design, they sought to answer the question, whether adding pictures to verbal feedback improve learning.
