This study is about eight dyads of ninth grade students conducting collaborative online research on topics related to their science curriculum. It measures the impact of a teaching intervention called LINKS (Learning to Integrate InterNet Knowledge Strategically) on four dyads’ use of ten online reading strategies hypothesized to support multiple Internet text integration processes relative to ...

This paper looks at the concept of invisible learning in the context of the Oxford University Enabling Mothers to Understand Maternity (E-Mum) project. It argues that users take in messages from an online system’s structure, layout and navigation alongside more direct methods of information uptake such as reading or scanning. If this subliminal absorption is harnessed and exploited by developer...

This article presents a study of online digital library (DL) uses, based on three data sources (online questionnaire, Internet traffic data and interviews). We show that DL users differ from average Internet users as well as from classical library users, and that their practices involve particular contexts, among which personal researches and bibliophilism. These results lead us to reconsider t...

In the rapidly changing circumstances of our increasingly digital world, reading is also becoming an increasingly digital experience: electronic books (e-books) are now outselling print books in the United States and the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, many readers still view e-books as less readable than print books. The present study thus used combined EEG and eyetracking measures in order to t...

The study explored overall and cohort-specific trends in Internet political efficacy from an age-period-cohort approach with a cross-sequential design. Perceived Internet influence on political efficacy is found to increase with age. Significant difference between Internet users and nonusers is also found in some cohorts. Online news reading and online chats/discussions have a positive impact i...

We study the changes in emotional states induced by reading and participating in online discussions, empirically testing a computational model of online emotional interaction. Using principles of dynamical systems, we quantify changes in valence and arousal through subjective reports, as recorded in three independent studies including 207 participants (110 female). In the context of online disc...
