Thanks these are great research sources for the last of my dissertation! My dissertation is on reading online plain text online versus reading hypertext or Internet material. I'm just finishing the discussion section which means I have finished the quantitative. I hope to do my orals in January or February. If anyone is again interested (some have already read the first part but not the quantitative etc.), please email me off the list and I will send you either the final dissertation OR what I have so far. Students in this study read two versions of different material online and answered questions online. One text was linear text on the printing press and the other was on the cell phone with hypertext. The linear text information had a footnote to have the same amount of information. It was done with L1 and L2 students from a college and a graduate school. Tommy Tommy B.
