Designing Multimodal Composition Activities for Integrated K-5 Programming and Storytelling (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Whyte, R., Ainsworth, S. E., & Medwell, J. (2020). Designing Multimodal Composition Activities for Integrated K-5 Programming and Storytelling. In The Interdisciplinarity of the Learning Sciences, 14th International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) 2020 (1317-1324)

A broad interest in embedding computing into K-5 settings has resulted in a proliferation of research on integrated approaches to programming. Although much of these efforts focus on supporting learning in science, engineering, and mathematics (or ST...

Designing drawing activities to support simulation-based learning in quantum mechanics (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ainsworth, S., Kohnle, A., & Passante, G. (2020, June). Designing drawing activities to support simulation-based learning in quantum mechanics. Presented at Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Conference, CSCL, Tenesse

In recent years, the argument that drawing can play a fundamental role in learning in the STEM disciplines has received much support. One area that is receiving growing attention is whether drawing is of value when students work with multi-representa...
