Impact of thermal comfort on online learning performance.

ABSTRACT: Online learning has drawn much more attention since the outbreak of COVID-19. Most related studies have focused on online platform design and instructional design. However, the physical environment where online learning is conducted (e.g., students' homes) is rarely studied. To understand the thermal conditions in students' online learning environment and its impact on students' thermal comfort and their performance during online learning, an experiment, including both objective measurement and subjective assessment, was conducted in a student's apartment. Thirty university students participated in this experiment, and they were randomly assigned into six groups (three thermal conditions (i.e., control, cold, and hot) × two-course durations). Both environmental parameters (i.e., air temper
