Behavioural Emotional
Cognitive Collaborative

Food For Thoughts
A rosy picture of positive outcomes is generally reported in the EDS literature
across all orientations. There are at least two possibilities. The novelty effect of
educational technology may have contributed to the seemingly rosy picture.
Novelty effect usually refers to students’ initial increased endeavour and
attention as a response to the introduction of novel technology/media. Such
attention tends to wane once students are used to the new tools.
- Wu & Chen, 2020
