Many universities around the world use multimedia resources in large classrooms. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is any significant influence on student academic performance due to the use of multimedia (environment and tools) and seating location. This study analyses student data on grade performance and seating location for an undergraduate course at a multimedia classroom over eight semesters. This study also analyses whether short multimedia materials attract student attention in class using a computer vision experimental setup. It has been found that there is similar performance and distraction rate of students who sit at a similar proximity to the multimedia screen. The findings of this study are valuable for academic institutions and educators to design multimedia lectures and classrooms to enhance student performance.

多媒体和座位位置对学生学业投入和成绩的影响

世界各地的许多大学在大型教室中使用多媒体资源。本研究的目的是确定是否由于使用多媒体（环境和工具）和座位位置对学生的学习成绩有任何显着影响。本研究分析了学生在八学期多媒体教室中学习本科课程的成绩和座位位置的数据。本研究还使用计算机视觉实验装置分析了简短的多媒体材料是否在课堂上吸引了学生的注意力。已经发现，坐在靠近多媒体屏幕的附近的学生有相似的表现和分心率。这项研究的结果对于学术机构和教育工作者设计多媒体讲座和教室以提高学生表现很有价值。
