q2 i? Repeated failure of the wireless infrastructure most negatively affected learners' experience. → Reynolds 2010

Evidence¶

Reynolds 2010¶

Reynolds, R., Walker, K., & Speight, C. (2010). Web-based museum trails on PDAs for university-level design students: Design and evaluation. Computers & Education. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2010.04.010

q2 · i? · design · r2

Formative and summative evaluation findings on the iGuides system: "the repeated failure of the wireless infrastructure" most negatively affected experience; the network required passwords and bandwidth problems affected streaming audio and video.

"the factor which most negatively affected learners'experience was the repeated failure of the wireless infrastructure due to inadequate capacity in the PDAs, intermittent technical faults in the wireless network, and the structure and contents of the galleries"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Infrastructure and access constraints were reported in 18 of 54 studies (33%) as the second higher-order technical limitation category — a broader claim this one bears on
• Technical difficulties were the most frequently reported implementation limitation, mentioned in ten of the thirteen studies — related
• Technical issues (login scanning, internet connectivity, projector setup, and glitches) frustrated students and created a significant barrier to playlist implementation — related
