Previous research has shown that such questions can improve learning from written materials (see all of the research by Ernst Rothkopf and his colleagues and also the review article of my mentor during my master’s studies Christian Hamaker), from live and recorded lectures, and from video learning material. My first scientific article was on this subject! "

But a few months ago, people began realizing that all these video calls were making them tired—exhausted even—more so than a day of in-person class or all-day meetings.
