Digital Literacy Skills - Reading on screen
Books vs PDFs
Photo (cc-by) Matt Cornock
Increase use of digital resources for teaching.
Reducing demand on physical books. Yet need to
address the subjective apprehension about on
screen reading (Holizinger, et al, 2011).
Device ownership
Photo (cc-by) Matt Cornock
Our internal surveys of first years show 93% own
laptops or tablets, 78% own smartphones and only
22% own desktop computers. Leading to more
flexible and ad hoc engagement with resources.
Changing behaviour
Photo (cc-by) Matt Cornock
Conflict in the way that digital resources are
provided to students, yet our expectation is to still
hand out paper. Need to address digital
consumption in class and overcome fear of laptops.
Mimicking existing methods
Photo (cc-by) Matt Cornock
Common approaches to digital resources mimic
paper-based interaction with highlighting and notes,
yet the digital world offers much more:
collaboration, connectability, searchability.
Exposing the skills gap
Photo (cc-by) Matt Cornock
Our students (and us) are trained in the paper-
based world. We cannot assume students are
competent in a digital-only environment so we must
offer support – hence the Reading On Screen site.
Common problems
• You don’t know what you don’t know
– Change of font/colours/background/interface
– Different devices (strengths/weaknesses)
– Annotation
– File management
– Searchability
New learning opportunities
Photo (cc) Matt Cornock
With the confidence and knowledge to manage and
engage with resources in a digital-only way,
students can create rich personal libraries and no
longer be bound by the book request queue.
Development of the site
• Focus on the skills and tools to assist in
consumption of digital resources
• Devices
• File formats
• Problem-solving
• Commenting and collaborative
