I'd wager that most people on this list have dual monitors, but that doesn't mean students and learners have them. We're finding through our distance learning classes that maybe 1/3 of our adult students have a 2nd monitor. The reasons why folks don't:

1) They have 2 monitors at work, but now that they're working from home, their employer won't give them another monitor. They working only on their small laptop screen.

2) They're working only part time now, and don't have the finances to purchase a second monitor.

3) They've just never had 2 monitors and only now have had the reason to have 2.

We certainly can control our computer environments, but not those of our learners.
