ABSTRACT
This paper presents and evaluates Aiki, a simple browser extension
designed to redirect a user to a learning platform for a fxed amount
of time before accessing websites defned as ’procrastination’ or
’time-wasting’ websites. The goal of the extension is to enable the
user to exchange time spent on pages they believe contribute less to
their own productivity for microlearning activities, defned as small
or short-term learning activities. The paper describes the design
and development of Aiki and evaluates the extension with a group
of n = 10 participants studying the Danish language. Based on
a two-week study, we conclude that this type of extension, even
in its preliminary version, has the potential to improve language
skills in a lightweight manner and that redirection is an important
alternative to blocking for procrastination management.
