“…While this approach might be viewed as scaffolding, the concern might be that learners could become dependent upon it for knowing what to do (Day, French, & Hall, 1985;Derry, 1985;Yore, 1986). It is difficult to remember all the information you have seen without taking notes.…”

This article addresses three types of learner support: (a) support for optimizing use of a computer program, (b) support for learning content, and (c) support for monitoring and enhancing learning. It proposes a multidimensional model of learner-support space defined by the intrusiveness of the delivery methods employed and the prescriptiveness of the content of the learner support provided. Methods of delivering such support through various interface elements, as well as several scenario-based examples of learner support matching the designer's philosophical beliefs, are discussed. The article closes by ident~ying relevant research questions for future study.[] There is a rich literature on the nature of computer-based online help systems. In general, this literature focuses on helping users of computer software understand how to use software more efficiently (see for example, Microsoft, 1995 andShneiderman, 1998). According to Etkerton (1988), the purpose of online support is "to improve current and long-term user performance with the computer interface" (p. 345).

“…In this sense, our findings were similar to those reported by other researchers, but we were not surprised. Derry (1985) has stated that improvement of generalized problem-solving skills would require the full JSEP strategies training model, which includes direct training plus prompting over a lenghty period of time. The short durations of these trials did not permit adequate testing of the transfer hypothesis.…”

This paper describes a comparative analysis of the thought processes verbalized by lowability soldiers and higher-ability college students who were trained to talk aloud while solving arithmetic word problems. We analyzed and compared the types of behaviors exhibited during problem solving, and what errors were made. The analysis was used as a basis for designing problem-solving training for the Army's Job Skills Educational Program (JSEP), which consists of remedial training in basic educational skills related to job performance. Our paper includes a discussion of research findings that led to training prescriptions, describes the problem-solving package that was developed, and presents data for a formative tryout of the training materials.
