• Misinformation sharing and social media fatigue during COVID-19: An affordance and cognitive load perspective (2020, positive): “…a theory for instructional science, CLT has recently been integrated with HCI (Hollender et al., 2010), and has been widely successful in explaining human online behaviour such as retention in online courses (Mutlu-Bayraktar et al., 2019) and the effects of social media use on learning (Lau, 2017).”
• Efficient, helpful, or distracting? A literature review of media multitasking in relation to academic performance (2018, neutral): “Survey data found frequent in-class multitaskers have lower current college GPAs (Al-Menayes, 2015; Bellur, Nowak, & Hull, 2015; Clayson & Haley, 2012; Junco, 2012; Lau, 2017).”
