Preface
This book was written with two audiences in mind. First, we hope to inspire practitioners, including teachers, textbook authors, and technology-based content authors, to design more effective, efficient, and interesting unsupervised individual learning materials. Second, we hope to inspire a new generation of researchers to explore further the design of homework and other forms of unsupervised individual learning materials by performing additional empirical studies in authentic learning environments.
We believe that our research has answered a number of practical questions toward better homework design. Many experiments are reported, and most provide clear results and pedagogical guidance. We know, however, that knowledge is a continuing quest and that there is much more to learn. We invite you to join our quest by reading this book, incorporating what we have learned into your designs, and extending what we have learned with further research.
