Highlights:

• Information problem solving skills in university students are underdeveloped.

• A 2-h online training increased information problem solving skills.

• In two experiments, different types of built-in task support were compared.

• Students receiving no support showed performance equal to that of supported students.

• The form of task support did not affect reported mental effort during learning.
