Hi,
An interesting article. I too print a lot and read paper books. However, being an active reader is the key point. I'm struck by marking dissertations in Turnitin for example. I give feedback and annotate the document. By the time I've done that, I've developed a good sense of the study submitted. In other words, I'm engaged as an active reader.

If I was promoting peer learning, for example, I would use something like Turnitin but have students be reviewers of an article placed inside Turnitin. The requirement would be to annotate it and then summarise in the feedback column. That review might later be shared, discussed and even marked with/by peers. I'd have the same article allocated to each student to review independently. Then perhaps we'd meet up to share and discuss the reviews and summarise the article together. 

Isn't it about pedagogy more than the medium?
 .  

Best Wishes,
Nick

Interesting study on reading in different formats and for different purposes?


A new study shows that students learn way more effectively from print textbooks than screens

"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)


"Education is the point at which we decide whether we love the world enough to assume responsibility for it, and by the same token save it from that ruin which except for renewal, except for the coming of the new and the young, would be inevitable." Hannah Arendt (The Crisis of Education)
