TLDR
The practice of annotation in a particular situation is examined: the markings students make in university-level textbooks, and their status within a community of fellow textbook readers is examined.Abstract:
Readers annotate paper books as a routine part of their engagement with the materials; it is a useful practice, manifested through a wide variety of markings made in service of very different purposes. This paper examines the practice of annotation in a particular situation: the markings students make in university-level textbooks. The study focuses on the form and function of these annotations, and their status within a community of fellow textbook readers. Using this study as a basis, I discuss issues and implications for the design of annotation tools for a digital library setting.read more

Clustering Students Based on their Annotations of a Digital Text
TL;DR: This research proposes two simple biology-inspired approaches to represent the patterns of student annotations and to cluster students based on the similarity between their annotations; the annotations produced were simple highlighting.
Symbolic vs. iconic: How to support argumentative design discourse with 3D product representations
TL;DR: This analysis shows how iconic 3D representations must be enhanced by symbolic annotations, in order to support asynchronous argumentative design communication.
Future-focused learning via online anchored discussion, connecting learners with digital artefacts, other learners, and teachers
TL;DR: Various educational design features of MAT that enable learning by online artefact-centred discussion, including learner use of these features are discussed.

Making Graph-Based Diagrams Work in Sound: The Role of Annotation
TL;DR: This article proposes that differing types of annotation offer a powerful and flexible technique for transferring the benefits of graph-based diagrams, as well as for reducing disorientation while moving around the graph and for tackling some of the inherent disadvantages of using sound.

A methodology and model for studying boundary objects, annotations, and collaborative practices: Musicians and musical scores
TL;DR: The concept of the boundary object is reviewed and a new method to help researchers study users' interactions with these objects is proposed, based on an qualitative study of musicians' annotative behaviors on their boundary objects.

A comparison of reading paper and on-line documents
Kenton O'Hara,Abigail Sellen +1 more
TL;DR: A laboratory study that compares reading from paper to reading on-line finds critical differences that allow readers to deepen their understanding of the text, extract a sense of its structure, create a plan for writing, cross-refer to other documents, and interleave reading and writing.

A history of reading
TL;DR: The authors argues that it is the demands and expectations of the reader, acting alongside the creative will of the writer, that is the evolutionary motor of literary forms and genres, from man's first use of the written word simply as a form of reference, to the emergence of the first holy or devotional texts, and onto the development of fictions, both poetic and novelistic, aiming to both challenge and enlighten.

Ambiguous intentions: a paper-like interface for creative design
Mark D. Gross,Ellen Yi-Luen Do +1 more
TL;DR: A pen-based interface is described that acquires information about ambiguity and precision from freehand input, represents it internally, and echoes it to users visually and through constraint based edit behavior.
