While some research shows that e-learning personalisation may actually complicate information processing under specific circumstances, this study examines whether it can be successful over the course of an entire semester. Survey responses from a group of university students taking massive online learning classes in South Korea (n = 2,160) were analysed to investigate relationships involving e-learning personalisation and various elements of cognitive load. Results showed that as e-learning personalisation levels increased, negative aspects of cognitive load decreased. These results support cognitive load reduction strategies in ways that traditional lectures replicated in online environments cannot.","PeriodicalId":46089,"journal":{"name":"Open Learning","volume":"38 1","pages":"228 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46903933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that students with disabilities generally engaged with all modes of tuition in similar proportions to which they were registered on the modules. However, students with mental health disabilities engaged with tuition at lower levels than registered on the modules, and the amount reduced as they progressed beyond the first level of study. Regardingthe availability of different types of tuition, rather than widening access to more students , for students with a declared mental health disability it was often the same students accessing the different modes of tuition. We conclude that for students with mental health disabilities, more tuition event modesdid not widen access to more students, although it did give more options to those who did access the tuition. These findings contribute to improving the currently limited understand- ing of how to effectively support students with mental health disabilities in tuition.","PeriodicalId":46089,"journal":{"name":"Open Learning","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42130197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
