Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a software that facilitates an innovative approach to active reading — an interactive process that helps readers achieve better comprehension and recall of their reading materials. Taking advantage of touch-screen tablet computers, the LiquidText software — developed by Georgia Tech graduate student Craig Tashman and Keith Edwards, an associate professor in the Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing— enables active readers to interact with documents using finger motions. LiquidText can significantly enhance the experiences of active readers, a group that includes students, lawyers, managers, corporate strategists and researchers.
