Abstract:

The present thesis explores and discusses reading continuous text on small screens, namely on mobile devices, and aims at identifying a model capturing those factors that most influence the perceived experience of reading. The thesis also provides input for the user interface and content creation industries, offering them some direction as to what to focus on when producing interfaces intended for reading or text-based content that is likely to be read on a small display. The thesis starts with an overview of the special characteristics of reading on small screens and identifies, through exist

Abstract:

Teaching & Learning<br>Ed.D.<br>Over the last decade, the idea of providing students with choices in their learning experience has attracted academic interest (Flowerday & Shraw, 2000; Katz & Assor, 2007; Patall, Cooper, & Robinson, 2008). Although some previous research has suggested that choice is beneficial to language learning, other research has indicated that choice has negligible (Iyengar & DeVoe, 2003) or even damaging effects (D’Ailly, 2004; Stefanou, Perencevich, DiCintio, & Turner, 2004) on language acquisition.

Abstract:

'Reading Richard Schechner' explores the theatre, theory, and academic leadership of a key figure in American theatre studies, engaging critically with Schechner's contributions, in order to assess their value for future theatre research. Chapter One considers how Schechner's theatre participated in social change and situates Schechner's analogy of theatre to ritual within an avant-garde theatrical tradition. Chapter Two models Schechner's career in terms of a singular performance project which moves from its early focus on theatre production, through performance theory, leading finally to his

Glaucoma is a progressive disease of the optic nerve that can result in visual impairment and in tum inhibit performance on everyday visual tasks. Three connected experimental studies described in this thesis primarily aim to investigate the performance of people with glaucoma on a computer-based task of reading whilst simultaneously recording eye movements. Fifty four patients with bilateral glaucoma and 40 age-similar people with normal vision took part in the experiments. The first study measured change in reading speed when letter contrast is reduced. Results showed that average reduction

Abstract:

English language learners (ELLs) spend a majority of their instructional time in mainstream classrooms with mainstream teachers. Reading is an area with which many ELLs are challenged when placed within mainstream classrooms. Scaffolding has been identified as one of the best teaching practices for helping students read. ELL students in a local elementary school were struggling, and school personnel implemented scaffolding in an effort to address student needs. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine how personnel in one diversely populated school employed scaffolding to accommo

Abstract:

Many factors, related to the reading task, the low vision device and the patient, affect the reading performance and eventual reading rehabilitation of a patient with low vision. Reading performance can be defined in terms of near visual acuity and reading rate - both need to be adequate for reading to be functionally useful. Near visual acuity can be simply and accurately measured with standardised test charts, but the patient's potential reading rate cannot be so easily determined. In this study, reading performance of adults with low vision was examined, firstly with respect to current clin

Reading can be considered as the most fundamental skill learned in a person's life. It lays the foundation for later success in academics, vocational pursuits, and life. Because of reading's importance in everyday life, the search for effective reading interventions for those experiencing reading difficulties is continual. A single-subjects design was used to examine the overall effect of two reading interventions, listening previewing and folding-in, on oral reading performance. Nine regular education third-grade students served as subjects in the present study. Results indicated that neither

This study aims to identify and explain relationships between some major factors associated with successful reading at Grade 5 level in South African primary schools. In South Africa, grave concerns with regards to low levels of student achievement pervade research initiatives and educational debates. Despite considerable investments in educational inputs (such as policy and resources) and processes (such as curriculum provision and teacher support), outcomes (such as student achievement) remain disappointingly low.

While the negative effects of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 are still permeating throughout the United States, a few novelists have taken on the extreme task of writing about this historic event.

In looking at three novels that deal with the events during and the aftermath of 9/11, I hope to consider the way art is used in these texts.
