Description:

The use of Open Educational Resources (OER) and digital-only collections is increasing in colleges and libraries, but research has determined that people read slower and with poorer comprehension when reading online. Through a Faculty Learning Community at a two-year college, librarians and subject faculty are researching whether targeted instruction or different digital mediums improve comprehension.
