The Effect of Anticipated Information Intervention on Learning in a Train Environment

Abstract

In an environment such as a train, a learner has to deal with a variety of content. In this study, using performance tests and questionnaires we investigated the quantitative and qualitative impact of a mobile learning intervention, wherein learners watched videos on their mobile devices while commuting by train. With regard to understanding of content, the performance tests revealed a significant effect depending on the intervention. Further, the questionnaire indicated that many learners preferred visual content to audio content.
