Difference of participants’memory and comprehension about discussion between an online and onsite conference.

Abstract

Responding to spreading CoVID-19 disease, online conferences are often held in various scenes. It is sometimes heard from participants of an online conference that it would be hard to keep what they’ve discussed in their memory. Therefore, the authors aim to examine whether such a memory issue actually would occur in this study. The authors conducted the experimental online and onsite conferences and evaluated the breadth and depth of participants’ memory about the discussion on each experimental conference. As a result of comparing them by ANOVA, it is found that both the breadth and depth of participants’ memory about the discussion on the online conference will be less than those on the onsite conference.
