Paper Abstract:
|
The advent of podcasting offers opportunities for students to learn while performing another activity (e.g. listening to an educational podcast while jogging). Two experiments were set up to examine the effect of performing a secondary task while learning with an iPod. In the experimental group, the participants had to combine a learning task (listening to an educational podcast) with a secondary task (walking or jogging). The control group only had to perform the learning task. Afterwards, all the participants had to complete a learning test. In study one, there were no significant differences between the learning performances of students of the different conditions. In study two, the students who were sitting down outperformed the students who were jogging while studying. |
