Comprehension when reading digital texts is 10% less than with a printed text. Worse, estimates of comprehension are 10% better. That means that people think they’re learning more when they’re learning 20% less.

Another stunning leap into further down into the educational abyss.

(Did my master’s thesis on digital vs. print comprehension. It’s scarier than you dare think.)
