Digital Texts and Reading Strategies

Reading an academic text in a paper format can be challenging, and reading it online adds complexity to the task. The growing number of adult learners using digital texts for academic purposes provides an opportunity for educators to teach students how to effectively read these texts for comprehension and critical thinking. Articles and ideas for teaching digital reading to elementary or secondary students abound, but there are few resources for teaching adult learners how to interact effectively with digital texts.

BC Open Textbook Accessibility Toolkit

The Accessibility Toolkit is a collaboration between BCcampus and Centre for Accessible Post-secondary Education Resources BC (CAPER-BC). The goal of the Accessibility Toolkit is to provide the resources needed so that each content creator, instructional designer, educational technologist, librarian, etc. has the opportunity to create a truly open and accessible textbook (or other instructional material).
