      There are different "varieties" of multitasking. I have read elsewhere that you can't actually do two things at once, so when you are multitasking, you are, by definition, switching rapidly between two competing tasks. But the question still remains, is it bad to be consistently switching between two tasks?
  • switch cost -- one attributable to the time taken to adjust the mental control settings (which can be done in advance it there is time), and another part due to competition due to carry-over of the control settings from the previous trial (apparently immune to preparation).

      Research found that you are less productive when switching between tasks.

      Another reason why switching is harder: you have to remember details about the other task, otherwise you have to rethink about them when you switch back, which takes up time.

    My favorite online course was Dr. Saxton's Research & Program Evaluation. Although he's switched SUNY campuses he has obviously continued his interest in new media and online teaching and learning.

  • 81 percent of young people report "media multitasking" at least some of the time.
  • esearch suggests that it slows children's productivity, changes the way they learn and may even render social relationships more superficial
  • People who multitask actually take longer to get things done.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Plus switching itself takes a toll: As you're switching, says Meyer, you're not concentrating on either task. And you need a mental warm-up to resume the suspended task.

    Frazzing, short for frantic multitasking, refers to a form of mental channel switching caused by all the distractions we face today: cell phones, Blackberry coms, e-mails, pages, I-Ms, and good old, in-person interruptions. The Stickler never wants to say "I told you so," but it is what it is.

      i think you mean "tailor"
  • if you truly have “learned it” you should be able to teach the information to someone else.  For instance, with the creation of our online course, we have learned how to properly create a successful online course.  Not only do I feel I have been able to successfully create an online course but, I feel I could help/teach my coworkers to do the same.  If I feel I would be able to transfer my knowledge to other, I have “learned it”.

      Today, there is so many stimuli competing for our constant attention that we are unable to resist multitasking. For example, I typically have my phone beside me and will glance at it when it vibrates or lights up, which takes me away from whatever I am doing, be it a conversation with a friend or working on graduate school work. According to https://www.apa.org/research/action/multitask.aspx I am losing time with every switch.

      A valid part of everyday life both in school, at work, and at home.
  • When deadlines loom at the office and in the classroom, it is better to complete portions of all tasks, than to only complete one. In the classroom, part marks add up to better grades than no marks at all.

      Do we think this is true? Is it better to do one thing well or many things at a lower level? I am not sure this is arguing a positive.
  • doing a lot, but accomplishing nothing

      Again, I wonder how true this is. It sounds overly negative to me. When I rapidly switch, I would not say that I accomplish absolutely nothing.
