Technology Feature Brief: Highlighting
Center on Inclusive Software for Learning (CISL) at CAST
Date2023
Research spanning multiple decades supports highlighting text as an effective way to improve memory and reading comprehension. New research suggests that students often have highlighting preferences that further aid their comprehension.
The Center on Inclusive Software for Learning (CISL) at CAST conducted literature reviews and testing within Clusive, our adaptive and accessible web-based reader designed during the project, to develop Technology Feature Briefs. These briefs are designed for educators, developers, and researchers to find out more about particular features within technology tools, how they’re used, and whether they might be effective in addressing different barriers within a technology environment.
