Title: | Effect of in-app components, medium, and screen size of electronic textbooks on reading performance, behavior, and perception | Authors: | Sheen, KA Luximon, Y |
Issue Date: | Jan-2021 | Source: | Displays, Jan. 2021, v. 66, 101986 | Abstract: | Although many app-based textbooks are available for students, reading have not been thoroughly outlined. This study aimed to understand how changes from paper to electronic textbooks have affected the academic reading task, investigate student users’ perceptions of in-app components and screen sizes, and identify issues affecting in-app components and task requirements. A mixed factorial design experiment was employed. Results showed that there were no significant changes in comprehension and time spent reading between print text and the iPad. Yet, student highlighting, notetaking, and reading behavior and perception significantly changed based on condition. In addition, students struggled to use in-app components and found them frustrating especially when accounting for sentence splitting. The findings presented can assist in understanding the changes in student reading behavior, which can be used to improve interface design of future e-textbooks. | Keywords: | Behavior Electronic textbooks Perception Reading performance |
