Time-compressed Instruction: What compression speeds do learners prefer?

• In Event: T&P - Learner Experience

Short Description

The study sought to explore learners’ perceptions of time-compressed speech in order to help determine what speeds they would prefer when listening for learning purposes. Participants answered a 30-question survey concerning their preferences towards compressed speech. They were presented with questions asking how much they preferred speech compressed at different speeds both with and without visuals. Participants indicated that they preferred images to no images. For compression, participants consistently preferred the 10% compression speed.
