Abstract

The history of the evolution of education and media technology from oral to Internet shows that literacy has developed from the Oratory, the print-based literacy, to the digital literacy. In the ecosystem of Internet, the form of reading materials is changing from paper-printed books to digital multi-modal content including e-books, video, audio, VR, games and so on. Meanwhile, the setting of teaching is changing from face-to-face classroom to online classroom mediated by ICT. The change of teaching methods has further brought about the new paradigm of educational research. Based on this background, the Digital Reading Lab of GSE of Peking University initiated an online digital reading courses experiment from 2015 to 2018 cooperated with three middle schools. This paper will introduce this experiment and the findings.

This research was funded by National Social Science Foundation 2016 Education General Project of China “Developing Students' Digital Literacy through Digital Reading” (BCA160056) and Peking University Education Big Data Research Project.
