Maximising student learning through minimising information search time; the role of satisficing and skimming.

With the increase in the use of the internet for educational purposes, the problem is no longer how to find and access information on-line, but how to select the most appropriate sources of information. What strategies do students adopt in order to allocate time adaptively to the information they n...
