The Effect of Highlighting on Multi-Perspective Art Learning
This Project was my Bachelor's Thesis and encompassed the (further)-development of a digital learning environment for the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, a art-historic museum in Braunschweig. Further, I conducted a learning-psychological experiment on the effect of the highlighting-extension of the learning environment on learners' learning success and behaviour with regard to their visuospatial ability. Results revealed highlighting to have supported low-visuospatial learners in attaining higher learning gains but limited high-visuospatial learners who scored lower learning gains than the control group. It was theorized that highlighting assisted low-visuospatial learners in information selection and perspective processing, by reducing visuospatial working-memory requirements but limited high- visuospatial learners to potentially attend to more artworks than suggested. This study confirmed visuospatial ability as a predictor of learning gains in MHEs, instructional theories of digital learning environments and set forth concrete visual design implications for MHEs.

I was supervised by Prof. Dr. Enkelejda Kasneci from the HCI Research-Group at the University of Tübingen and Dr. Franz Wortha from the University of Greifswald.
