An Investigation Of The Effect Of Network Latency On Pedagogic Efficacy: A Comparison Of Disciplines

Abstract

E-learning has become a mainstream educational opportunity, as noted in U.S. News & World Report. Further, differences among college students have been documented in various disciplines. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of network latency on pedagogical efficacy based on the students who were classified as in either humanities programs or engineering and science programs. The findings indicate that tolerances to screen update latencies are discipline-dependent and that students in engineering and science have a lower tolerance for screen update latency than students in the humanities.

The effect of type of company doing home delivery during a pandemic on consumers' quality perceptions and behavior

“…Plausibility check included one question adopted from Bush et al. (2008) related to the participants' confidence in their responses to the dependent variable question.…”

“…In the subsequent screens, participants answered a set of questions including (1) one question about their intention to continue using home delivery service after the pandemic (same as the dependent variable question in the main experiment), (2) two questions of a realism check (Dabholkar, 1994) and (3) one question checking the plausibility of the response given to the dependent variable question (Bush et al, 2008). Each item was presented in a separate screen.…”

A Multicenter Study Of Students Sensitivity To Screen-Update Delay

“…Ehrlinger and Dunning (2003) opined that this may have to do with students' chronic self-views about their abilities and the perceived notions about whether they are skilled or unskilled at a particular task, but Heine (1999) showed that their inflated self-assessment is more common in Western cultures. Earlier research has indicated that an increase in screen-update delay impacts the learning experience when measuring objective learning, enjoyment, and self-reported comprehension ; (Bush, et al, 2008). This paper will explore in greater detail the effect of screen-update delay on the student's enjoyment, the student's objective learning, and the student's reported self-confidence of the learning experience.…”

“… Similarly, realize that feedback that you are receiving allows you to assess whether or not your message was understood. Feedback is a key component of the learning process (Bush et al, 2008).  Do not interrupt or prevent the speaker from completing the message.…”
