Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

First, let’s acknowledge this universal epidemic. College students despise reading textbooks and e-books that cover content with academic information. Fortunately, I discovered a cure for the reading plague that only requires five teaspoons of ingestion: 1) survey 2) question 3) read 4) retrieve and 5) review. In my class, I have found the SQ3R Method to be a step-by-step approach to learning and studying from textbooks. Although it took my students time and practice to master this method, it has been valuable in regards to preparing students for more content-driven class discussions, increased retention and understanding of information, strategic study skills, and test preparation.

As many of us might have already realised, there is reading where you just look at the book and there is actually reading. With the former, you might get through the chapter faster, but will end up coming back to the same pages to remind yourself of what exactly you read. Have you found yourself doing that lately? Do not fear, we will share a technique to bring your reading to a higher level and also give general tips on managing your readings well!
