Table 2

Preferred learning mode and pacing across clusters

Dimension	Cluster A1	Cluster A2	Cluster B
Preference for Low-Bandwidth, Asynchronous Materials	62% prefer slides, short audio and small recordings; replay helps manage data	Similar preference, constrained by weaker connectivity; download at night to save cost	87% strongly prefer asynchronous, low-data formats like slides with narration and voice notes
Acceptable Length for Live Sessions	66% favor ≤30 minutes, with agenda and recap; avoid long, draining sessions	Prefer shorter sessions due to fragile connections; interruptions make long classes unworkable	89% prefer ≤30 minutes, short goals and recap notes; longer sessions risk dropout
Study Time Scheduling	58% schedule study late at night due to household noise and data use	More pronounced: off-peak studying is the only workable option	80% report studying at night or early morning; download when the signal is steady
Learning in Short Segments with Quick Check-ins	68% benefit from micro-lessons, tiny quizzes; aids retention	Same pattern; quizzes help ensure comprehension despite distractions	83% favor short segments plus 5-question checks for reinforcement
Need for Predictable Weekly Rhythm	62% prefer a weekly release rhythm with deadlines and feedback; reduces anxiety	Consistency is critical; it helps them plan despite intermittent connectivity	54% say weekly rhythm aids planning, downloads and pacing work despite weak networks
