It is determined that the presence of media text influences the oculomotor activity of students: students commit fewer fixations and saccades, the average duration of saccades increases, the value of the Scanpath Length indicator decreases.

It should also be borne in mind that the presence of images on educational Internet pages is perceived by students as a simplifying factor for completing the cognitive task of reading, but students practically do not pay attention to the images themselves. This may be attributed to the specificity of the learning process, when their main focus is on written texts acquisition. Discussion and Conclusion.
