Study on the Impact of Web-Quests as Communication Technology on Electronic Reading

Abstract:

The use of communication technology in electronic reading may change interactions among readers and writers. This paper attempts to investigate this kind of change in electronic reading due to the employment of web-quests as communication technology. It firstly reviews the literature including the concept and feature of web-quests, reader-reader interaction about a text, reader-text interaction, and communicative tasks in reading. Based on the literature review, the paper analyses how web-quests help develop communication about a text, including reader-reader interaction about a text and reader-text interaction. It also emphasises the functions of web-quests in governing excessive freedom for readers because of hypertexts in web-quests. Finally the paper concludes web-quests on electronic reading can increase the communications among readers and texts, and then cultivate readers’ abilities of critical thinking and independent reading.
