Improve students' reading by taking a question-based learning process on E-books

This study developed a question-based learning process embedded on an e-book to help students' textbook reading. We designed three reading phases: preview, reading, and review according to the reading strategy. In each phase, students were assisted by different questions. To evaluate the effect, we used this e-book in an experiment involving twenty-five students studying on a textbook content of computer science. Our research objectives are to test the effects of the system on academic performance and to evaluate whether the system use affects learner's motivation and active reading.
