How many drinks can you have?

We are asking undergraduate students to participate in a study to investigate how different cognitive and emotional states interact in an online learning environment in which the topic is related to alcohol consumption.

What’s involved?

You will be asked to complete activities related to alcohol consumption in an online learning module. The session should take you approximately 30 minutes. You may also be asked to participate in an interview after finishing the learning module which would take around another 30 minutes.

If you choose to participate in this research you will complete a computer-based educational module about alcohol consumption. The session will also involve the completion of questionnaires asking about your demographic details, motivation towards learning, and your experience learning with the online material. The log files and a screen capture of your usage in the educational module will also be recorded. You may also be invited to participate in an additional interview to describe your experiences during the learning task.

Why should you get involved?

This will help us to understand more about how we can develop effective online learning modules in higher education, taking into consideration their cognitive and emotional states. The research is funded through a Special Research Initiative of the Australian Research Council.

PLUS, you will be given a $20 gift voucher to thank you for your completing the module or a $40 gift voucher if you also participate in the interview.

How do you get involved?

If you would like to take part in the study (or have any further questions about it) please contact Paul Wiseman, at paul.wiseman@unimelb.edu.au
