title = "Investigating the effects of visual cues in multimedia instruction using eye tracking",
abstract = "This study employs eye-tracking technology to investigate the effect of visual cues in multimedia-based, self-directed online instruction. Eye tracking data such as fixation time, fixation count, and movement trails were collected to document how participants directed their attention during their online learning process. Compared with the learning experience without visual cue presence, this study provides empirical evidence on how visual cues affect online learners{\textquoteright} learning pattern, learning experience, and learning outcome, and proposes tentative guidelines for designing effective multimedia instructional content for online or blended learning environments.",
