    WASHINGTON (January 15, 2015) - A new joint grant program by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation seeks to give a second life to outstanding out-of-print books in the humanities by turning them into freely accessible e-books. The National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will jointly provide $1 million to convert out-of-print books into EPUB e-books with a Creative Commons (CC) license, ensuring that the books are freely downloadable with searchable texts and in formats that are compatible with any e-reading device. Books proposed under the Humanities Open Book program must be of demonstrable intellectual significance and broad interest to current readers.

  • a theme began to emerge: the more reading moved online, the less students seemed to understand.
  • Was the digital format to blame for their superficial approaches, or was something else at work?
  • The screen, for one, seems to encourage more skimming behavior: when we scroll, we tend to read more quickly (and less deeply) than when we move sequentially from page to page.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • On screen, people tended to browse and scan, to look for keywords, and to read in a less linear, more selective fashion
  • On the page, they tended to concentrate more on following the text.
  • Her hunch is that the physicality of a printed page may matter for those reading experiences when you need a firmer grounding in the material.
  • When Mangen tested the readers’ comprehension, she found that the medium mattered a lot.
  • there’s still no longitudinal data about digital reading.
  • The online world, she argues, may require students to exercise much greater self-control than a physical book.
  • the need to develop a very different sort of skill, that of teaching yourself to focus your attention.
  • students fared equally well on a post-reading multiple-choice test when they were given a fixed amount of time to read, but that their digital performance plummeted when they had to regulate their time themselves.
  • if they read the original texts on paper or a computer with no Internet access, their end product was superior to that of their Internet-enabled counterparts.
  • the allure of multitasking on the Internet
  • “Physical, tangible books give children a lot of time,” she says. “And the digital milieu speeds everything up. So we need to do things much more slowly and gradually than we are.”
  • Wolf is optimistic that we can learn to navigate online reading just as deeply as we once did print—if we go about it with the necessary thoughtfulness.
  • In a new study, the introduction of an interactive annotation component helped improve comprehension and reading strategy use in a group of fifth graders. It turns out that they could read deeply. They just had to be taught how.
  • As children move more toward an immersion in digital media, we have to figure out ways to read deeply there.”
