Off-task behavior is a major challenge. Various interventions have addressed this problem. Self-monitoring interventions are very effective, including the MotivAider, a self-timer that silently signals the student to observe his/her own Academic Engagement Time (AET).

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which the MotivAider, a tactile self-monitoring device, …
