creator Brown, Anna Kirsten advisor Ellington, J. Kemp The growth of e-learning is increasing in todays organizations; however the research to support its application is slow to catch up. Previous research has focused on the factors relating to training and transfer of training, there appears to be a dearth on what trainees are actually engaging in during e-learning itself. This study focused on the relationship between di erent types of multitasking on transfer of e-learning and the interrelation of physical distractors in the training environment. Archival data was utilized in the study with 399 participants. The ndings indicate that the number of additional tasks engaged in during training negatively relate to reported transfer of e-learning. Temperature also related to transfer of e-learning. Participants who reported training in a room where they considered the temperature comfortable also noted higher levels of transfer of e-learning. Limitations and suggestions for future research are presented.
