Interruptions in Online Training and Their Effects on Learning
Federman, Jessica E.
European Journal of Training and Development, v43 n5-6 p490-504 2019
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify the types of interruptions learners experience during online training and their effects on learning. Design/methodology/approach: An internet-based survey was distributed to individuals who experienced interruptions during e-learning to uncover common characteristics. A conceptual framework relating interruption characteristics to self-regulatory facets of learning is discussed. Findings: The study reveals that e-learners experience computer malfunctions, supervisors and family/friends as common sources of interruptions. The survey also reveals that interruptions are occasionally self-generated. Originality/value: This paper synthesizes the interruption and self-regulated learning literatures and provides a framework for understanding how interruptions affect online learning. This framework can be used by practitioners and scholars for future research and testing interrupted e-learning.
