The ability to read, understand, and decipher online material requires a unique skill set—qualities many of today's students have yet to grasp, according to researchers at the University of Connecticut and Clemson University, who with funds from the U.S. Department of Education, are creating a custom built model to help students acquire the kinds of higher-level comprehension skills necessary to navigate today's digital landscape.
