Younger generations' use of technology has shortened their attention spans

Gen Z and the incoming Gen Alpha (starting VET from 2025 onwards) are often faced with distractions and shorter attention spans due to their digital environment. 

This webinar will dive into Cognitive Media Psychology to understand the profound impact of media and social media on the learner's attention, perception, and memory.

The session will explore:

  • The psychological and cognitive processes individuals use when interacting with media.
  • Key concepts like cognitive responses, mental states and engagement, and media effects.
  • The effects of media multitasking and strategies for teaching in a distraction-prone environment.


Discover practical teaching strategies to overcome learner distraction, effectively leverage the influence of media, and counteract its negative effects to keep your students engaged and support their success.
