      Does not mention digital reading skills as separate from print reading skills or the fact that the current generation of researchers was specifically taught print reading skills and specifically taught (in general) that digital reading is not as good as print reading.

      Experience based preferences. Nothing about the advantages of digital reading: notes, highlights, search, looking up words, or social connections (seeing what others have highlighted or commented on sections).

      Have not identified many benefits specific to digital reading. Search, highlights and notes searchable, sharing and connecting, ease of creating bibliography/saving resources.
  • When queried about which reading platform they would choose if cost were the same, 87 percent said “print” for academic work.

      I would like to see a question about the amount of tie they have spent in school learning print reading strategies vs. digital reading strategies.

  • We also need to keep in mind the growing trend for universities to adapt their curricula to fit the proverbial “procrustean” bed of a digital world – a world tailor-made for skimming, scanning and using the “find” function rather than reading slowly and thoughtfully.

      Adaptive content refers to things like suggesting reading based on interest and adapting the sequence of student learning based on algorithms that use student data. Adaptive assessments change questions based on student performance on previous questions. This has nothing to do with skimming, scanning, or depth of thought.
  • Professors now toy with ditching long or complex reading assignments in favor of short (or more straightforward) ones, moving closer to digital reading patterns in the nonacademic world. This world hypes condensed versions of texts and shorter reading material that is bite-sized to begin with.

      This has nothing to do with digital vs. print. This has to do with bite sized vs. long readings.

      'writing down'? Try highlighting, bookmarking, adding notes, reading in groups and discussing the reading, keeping a digital notebook...
  • digitally approximate physical page flipping and multiple place-marking.

      'approximate page flipping' Page flipping is not the point. Think about SAMR -the lowest level is substitution - doing what we do without new technology, with technology. We need to be striving for redefinition. How can digital reading transform learning? 'multiple place marking', I believe, is bookmarks, which are not a new digital invention. Digital bookmarking is, however, a skill we should be teaching, and it comes in many forms. This article evaluates digital reading against print reading for using traditional print strategies. It does not explore connected learning or digital reading strategies.
