Institute of Learning Innovation, University of Leicester, UK.ORCID iD: 0000-0002-0802-7158
2015 (English)In: Advancing Higher Education with Mobile Learning Technologies: Cases, Trends, and Inquiry-Based Methods / [ed] J. Keengwe; M. Maxfield, IGI Global, 2015, p. 179-194Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Students are increasingly bringing their own mobile devices into the classroom. However, they do not take advantage of the various features that technology offers for supporting learning. The focus of the chapter is on digital reading in learning and particularly in foreign language learning with tablets. The author reviews the literature on digital reading and discusses briefly the use of reading strategies to promote reading comprehension. This is followed by a discussion of how the application iBooks Author was used in a research project in September 2012 in an Adult Education Centre in Denmark. The aim of the project was to determine to what extent students employ reading strategies when using tablets and which functions in the tablets support reading comprehension. Using a theoretical framework for learning strategies, the author discusses the design of digital material embedding reading strategies. The chapter concludes with practical suggestions for teachers and educational designers for promoting strategic reading using the iBooks Author application.
