色库TV Writing Centre Reading Sessions: "Skim, Dive, Surface"
Join us for this series where we will read Skim, Dive, Surface and meet online to discuss the book together.
How does digital reading shape the way + what we learn?
"Smartphones, laptops, tablets: college students are reading on-screen all the time, and digital devices shape students鈥 understanding of and experiences with reading. In higher education, however, teachers rarely consider how digital reading experiences may have an impact on learning abilities, unless they鈥檙e lamenting students鈥 attention spans or the distractions available to students when they鈥檙e learning online.
Skim, Dive, Surface offers a corrective
to these conversations鈥攁n invitation to focus not on losses to student
learning but on the spectrum of affordances available within digital
learning environments. It is designed to help college instructors across
the curriculum teach digital reading in their classes, whether they
teach face-to-face, fully online, or somewhere in between." [From: ]
