shared by Jessica O'Brien on 05 Sep 10 - Cached
  • Electronic readers and textbooks, while an interesting concept and potentially lucrative for publishers, so far aren't meeting student needs
  • A host of research over the past decade has shown that even the option to click hyperlinks to related material can create confusion and weaken understanding.
  • The iPad measured at 6.2% lower reading speed than the printed book, whereas the Kindle measured at 10.7% slower than print

  • Education's real problem with readers is the dismaying fact that mass information technology out of the box was not developed for education.
  • Jessica O'Brien on 05 Sep 10
     
    This article summarizes some research findings that suggest that electronic readers, such as the Kindle and iPad, are still inferior to the printed page and may even worsen student comprehension of material.

  • The latter part of 2010 may mark the point from which future historians date the transition to screen-based reading for literary fiction as well as reference works
  • However, even they are not yet willing to accept that the price of electronic texts is too high, and that readers will not pay the same for a bunch of bits as they will for a bound book, since the market knows that it costs less to send electrons over a network than it does to buy paper, make books out of it and ship the physical objects around the world
  • When you buy an digital copy to read on your e-book reader, phone or laptop all you get is the copyrighted bit, and what you pay for is a licence to have a copy or copies of the text.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Amazon recently announced that it will let Kindle owners "lend" books, but only for two weeks and only once per title.
  • The idea of "intellectual property" deliberately conflates the two and allows politicians to pretend that laws about physical property should extend to digital downloads. We need to challenge this unjustifiable elision if we are to think seriously about copyright and business models in the age of electronics.

    So much potential to bring books alive to learners & enhance content.  However, we can't forget that developing the imagination by creating your own pictures from what you read is also important.
