Abstract
Webquests and web searches are becoming popular teaching tools. During such tasks, students are exposed to a substantive amount of information, some of it relevant to a specific learning objective, some of it peripheral to that objective. Material learned incidentally during such activities may later be retrieved for explicit cognitive processing (Stadler, 1997) suggesting there is value in promoting incidental learning. Incidentally learned material may also exist as implicit knowledge, that is, knowledge the learner is unaware of and cannot directly report but knowledge that becomes apparent under certain test conditions. This study investigates the incidental learning of material during a web search in relation to prior computer experience, learning instructions and salience of on-screen information.
