Research on self-regulated learning (SRL) in hypermedia-learning environments is a growing area of interest. One major issue is the role of prior knowledge, which can influence how students interact with hypermedia-learning systems in terms of their use of SRL strategies.…

This paper presents a knowledge-based approach to facilitate the engineering design
process relating to spacecrafts. Because the design evolves over a long time and typically
involves individuals working at different locations and frequently for different
organizations, the degree of collaboration…
