I will send your grade to you via email. For this project, you are to design an Active Reading Machine. An Active Reading Machine is one of the new information appliances of digital libraries. Active Reading Machines eliminate the 'search and print' model of the digital library by providing an alternative based solely on digital media. Describe these aspects and give scenarios that make your point.
Reading encompasses a broad range of complex and poorly understood practices involving documents.
Describe these practices and give scenarios that make your point. The desktop metaphor has many shortcomings and is generally unimportant for an active reading machine. Describe these shortcomings and give scenarios that make your point. A paper document metaphor is more appropriate than the desktop metaphor for an active reading machine. Design and describe a paper-based metaphor for your active reading machine and give scenarios that support your point.
