Reading linear texts on paper versus computer screen: Effects on reading comprehension

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the technological interface on reading comprehension in a Norwegian school context were explored, where 72 tenth graders from two different primary schools in Norway were randomized into two groups, where the first group read two texts (1400-2000 words) in print, and the other group read the same texts as PDF on a computer screen.

TL;DR: To break the boredom in reading, one that the authors will refer to is choosing the myth of the paperless office as the reading material.
Abstract: Introducing a new hobby for other people may inspire them to join with you. Reading, as one of mutual hobby, is considered as the very easy hobby to do. But, many people are not interested in this hobby. Why? Boring is the reason of why. However, this feel actually can deal with the book and time of you reading. Yeah, one that we will refer to break the boredom in reading is choosing the myth of the paperless office as the reading material.

TL;DR: This review analyzes trends and commonalities among prominent theories of media effects, including theories of computer-mediated communication, which appears to share a similar pattern of reformulation from unidirectional, receiver-oriented views, to theories that recognize the transactional nature of communication.
Abstract: This review analyzes trends and commonalities among prominent theories of media effects On the basis of exemplary meta-analyses of media effects and bibliometric studies of well-cited theories, we identify and discuss five features of media effects theories as well as their empirical support Each of these features specifies the conditions under which media may produce effects on certain types of individuals Our review ends with a discussion of media effects in newer media environments This includes theories of computer-mediated communication, the development of which appears to share a similar pattern of reformulation from unidirectional, receiver-oriented views, to theories that recognize the transactional nature of communication We conclude by outlining challenges and promising avenues for future research

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of studies comparing the reading of comparable texts on paper and on digital devices is presented. But the results from research comparing learning outcomes across printed and digital media are mixed, making conclusions difficult to reach.
