Conducting Video Research in the Learning Sciences: Guidance on Selection, Analysis, Technology, and Ethics
This work addresses 4 challenges for scientists who collect and use video records to conduct research in and on complex learning environments, and investigates how to encourage broad video sharing and reuse while adequately protecting the rights of research participants who are recorded.

- 1 March 2006
It is seen that ready-to-hand access creates the potential for a new phase in the evolution of technology-enhanced learning, characterized by "seamless learning spaces" and marked by continuity of the learning experience across different scenarios (or environments), and emerging from the availability of one device or more per student ("one- to-one").
Language-Independent Conceptual “Bugs” in Novice Programming
- R. Pea
- Education
- 1 February 1986
It is suggested that these classes of conceptual bugs are rooted in a “superbug,” the default strategy that there is a hidden mind somewhere in the programming language that has intelligent interpretive powers.
Designing for deeper learning in a blended computer science course for middle school students
