This research investigated the viability of learning by self-managing split-attention worked examples as an alternative to learning by studying instructor-managed integrated worked examples. Secondary school students learning properties of angles on parallel lines were taught to integrate spatially separated text and diagrammatic information by using online tools to physically move text to associated parts of a diagram. The moving of text aimed to reduce learners' need to search between text and diagram, freeing cognitive resources for learning and affording learners' control of their learning materials. The main hypotheses that learners who self-manage split-attention worked examples would perform better on test …

Although they challenge some of our claims, Myanna Lahsen and colleagues and Lauren Rickards agree with us that a new intellectual climate ought to prevail in the world of global-change science. We concur with Lahsen et al. that there are other (perhaps better) examples than those that we chose to illustrate the tendency of global change scientists to presume that a 'single, seamless concept of integrated knowledge' is realizable and desirable; Paul Palmer and Matthew Smith provide a recent case in Nature. We apologise if we misrepresented Barnes et al., and applaud the recent efforts of Barnes and Dove to …
