Answer to Question 1

Because they contain multimedia and hypermedia features, and present students with realistic, complex problems to solve that require the integration of knowledge from several subject areas, students typically find such programs very engaging. These features also induce a high level of elaborative processing and metacognitive growth. In other words, students interact with the program on a meaningful level for an extended period of time and learn much about their own thinking and how to solve problems. One prominent example of this type of program is Quest Atlantis.

Answer to Question 2

Research findings suggest that insight into one's own learning processes seems to improve with age.
