Baker (2007) defines off-task behavior in learning environments as behavior "where a student completely disengages from the learning environment and task to engage in an unrelated behavior".

Recent studies have suggested that off-task behavior is associated with poorer learning in individual use of Cognitive Tutors (Baker, Corbett, Koedinger, & Wagner, 2004; Baker, 2007) but with more positive effects on learning in collaborative use of learning software (Kumar et al, 2007)
