“…When people are in a state of absorption, they undertake tasks with attentiveness and vigor, and this has the potential to improve learning in classroom environments.

“…Lumsden and Scott (1983) find that students value an enthusiastic lecturer and a clear presentation. These are factors that may be difficult to replicate in an online class, since instructors often read the audience and adjust their energy and delivery during a live lecture to control student concentration and enjoyment which help improve learning (Guo and Ro 2008).…”
