With the popularity of the Internet and the development of information technology, digital reading has affected human reading styles. In essence, digital reading is different from conventional reading in many ways. The aim of this research focuses primarily on exploring the differences in reading behaviors among different digital reading devices. Results reveal that the reading experience on the Tablet PC is superior to that on the other two digital devices. Subjects in the Tablet PC group demonstrate the highest preference in terms of depth reading which implies that Tablet PC should be the most appropriate device for digital learning platform in the future. Discussion and suggestions are in the conclusions at the end of this paper.

The Relationship

In this article, I propose the concept of hyperparatextuality as a way of looking beyond the digital paratext to consider the distributed state of immersive reading in digitized and read-in-browser environments. Beginning with a look at the history of the paratext and its relevance in the digital age, this article considers the hyperparatexts of the HathiTrust reading panes in particular to explore the relationship between digitized texts and the platforms that house them. The concept of paratext and its evolving meaning in the digital age has intrigued researchers for decades as literary production, circulation and consumption responds to digitization and digitalization. Digital paratexts might include fan communities, digital editions to material books in the form of official and unofficial content, Goodreads and other reading-related and review websites, and Kindle highlighting tools. However, digitization introduces new reading materialities, interfaces and frames with buttons, links and hypertextual content. These 'read-in-browser' environments, websites through which we access digitized literary works, introduce new paratexts into the reading experience and require different concepts to understand them. When digital paratexts are also hypertextual, they operate differently. This article proposes some ways of thinking about this.

Result Analysis

RESUMOO presente artigo trata da utilização de plataformas digitais de leitura na educação básica. O principal objetivo é, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica e de entrevista com estudantes que utilizam a plataforma digital Elefante Letrado, investigar as possibilidades de interação oferecidas por essas ferramentas e o grau de adesão a elas por parte de seus usuários. Para embasar a análise de resultados, o estudo aborda a revolução tecnológica em curso, a utilização de tecnologias digitais na educação, a literatura digital e questões relativas ao livro e à leitura na contemporaneidade. O artigo conclui que o surgimento das plataformas digitais de leitura reflete a época atual e que a interação do homem com a máquina ocorre de maneira inquestionável e intensa. Nada mais natural, portanto, que incluir esse modo específico de se apreciar literatura no ambiente escolar, desde que garantida a qualidade das obras e de sua forma de exploração, processo responsável pela riqueza da experiência de leitura.Palavras-chave: Plataformas digitais de leitura. Leitura. Literatura digital.ABSTRACTThe present article deals with the use of digital reading platforms in basic education. The main goal is, by means of a literature review and an interview with students who use the digital platform “Elefante Letrado”, to investigate the interaction possibilities of these tools and the degree of adherence by its users. To support the result analysis, the study approaches the ongoing technological revolution, the use of digital technologies on education, the digital literature and questions related to the book, and to the reading in the contemporaneity. The article concludes that the emergence of digital reading platforms reflects the current time, and that the man interaction with machines occurs in an unquestionable and intense way. Nothing more natural, therefore, than including this specific literature appreciation way in the school environment, since the quality of the works and their form of exploitation – which is the responsible process for the richness of the reading experience – has been guaranteed.Keywords: Digital reading platforms.

Abstract Digital reading has established its position, and thus research on how reading mode affects reading experience and enjoyment is needed. This study is based on a reading experiment with 89 14–15-year-olds who read or listened to an entire book in four different reading modes: paperbook, ebook, audiobook, and via a commercial subscription service. Using quantitative methods, we examine whether reading mode affects story world absorption as well as seek connections between gender, motivation, absorption and reading mode preferences. Based on the study, reading mode has no statistical impact on narrative absorption experience, measured by the Story World Absorption Scale. Instead, the experience correlates with reading motivation; an adolescent with higher motivation is more likely to feel absorbed while reading, regardless of reading mode. On average, girls experience higher reading motivation and absorption than boys. Less motivated seem to prefer audiobook whereas more motivated choose reading over listening.

Mobile phones are reportedly the most rapidly expanding e-reading device worldwide. However, the embodied, cognitive and affective implications of smartphone-supported fiction reading for leisure (m-reading) have yet to be investigated empirically. Revisiting the theoretical work of digitization scholar Anne Mangen, we argue that the digital reading experience is not only contingent on patterns of embodied reader–device interaction (Mangen, 2008 and later) but also embedded in the immediate environment and broader situational context. We call this the situation constraint. Its application to Mangen’s general framework enables us to identify four novel research areas, wherein m-reading should be investigated with regard to its unique affordances. The areas are reader–device affectivity, situated embodiment, attention training and long-term immersion.

BACKGROUND Patient experience at pediatric emergency department (PED) remain suboptimal. As an attempt to support the patients and their families before, during and after visit at PED, we have developed InfoKids, a mobile application guided by the patient centered care principle. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess the usability of the Infokids mobile application. METHODS The app was assessed through an in lab evaluation were participants had to execute 7 tasks of a scenario leading them from the installation of the app till the reception of a diagnostic sheet linked to the care episode. All interactions were recorded and usability flaws were analyzed in regards with usability criteria. A system usability scale questionnaire was also filled by the participant to compare our system with other. RESULTS A total of 17 parents, 15 women and 2 men (ages 26-53) participated in the study. Overall, they were mostly satisfied with the navigation, layout and interaction design of the app. Most of the problems encountered were related with navigation, especially difficulties for some participants to find the location of the action to perform. CONCLUSIONS empowering patient through mobile application supporting care processes has the potential to improve both care efficiency and to release pressure on healthcare system. The success of these applications is however linked to an optimal user experience that can be improved through usability testing.
