CCN.com reported: "A study, carried out in America by Professor Paul Kirschner from the Netherlands Open University, found that students who used Facebook whilst studying achieved on average 20 per cent lower marks in tests. Of the 219 American students studied for the report, the percentage deficit remained the same even if they only used the website sporadically."
This almost contradicts some of the suggested methods of learning we have discussed during this course over the last 18 months.
This highlights that although learners are convinced that they have the ability to multi-task, this multi-tasking needs to be considered during the educational process.
