Presentation Abstract
Multiple factors have shown to be related to e-learning outcomes (Jung & Rah, 2000). The aim of the current study is to determine if retention of material delivered via an online learning module will differ based on the gender and skill level of the module narrator. Participants will be randomly assigned to complete one of four modules which vary in the gender and type of narration (i.e. untrained versus trained). Participants will then complete a quiz on the material delivered through the module, as well as an exit survey assessing their satisfaction with the narrator. It is hypothesized that retention of the material within the module, measured by percentage of correct answers on the quiz, will differ based on the gender and type of narration, such that retention will be higher among those in the trained condition. Identifying relevant factors in e-learning settings ensures that learning outcomes are met.
