Shin, Dong-Hee; An, Hyeri; Kim, Jang Hyun – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
The use of a second screen can enhance information processing and the execution of search tasks within a given period. In this study, we examined the learner's attentional shift (AS) between two screens and controlled secondary tasks (STs) in the media multitasking setting and its effect on the learning process. In particular, we analyzed how…
