Research on reading comprehension processes demonstrates a dissonance between the "technology of text" (the form in which text is presented to readers) and the cognitive processes that successful readers engage in when they read. For example, even though readers mentally break up, reorganize, and reassemble sections of text that they read, they are not able to manipulate printed text, on paper or online, in ways that reflect these operations. The research described in this book involves the design of a Web-based reading environment that extends the ways in which readers engage with and experience electronic informational text by allowing them to exercise a repertoire of reading strategies including: (a) Chunking, (b) Summarization, (c) Imagery, (d) Reading self-assessment, (e) Note-taking, (f) Synchronous communication with other online readers, and (g) Asynchronous posts. The author followed a design-based research approach to inform the design and evaluation of the reading environment. The Web-based reading environment promotes a problem solving approach to the reading of informational texts.
