From Scrolling to Deep Reading: Navigating the Digital Shift in Indian Colleges
Author(s): Dr. Konduru Jamuna
Abstract: The shift from print to digital media has significantly transformed reading practices in higher education. While digital platforms have increased access to information across the world, they have also been associated with reduced attention spans and fragmented learner engagement. Research highlights patterns such as shallow processing, non-linear reading, and reduced memory and ability to recall in digital environments. This paper talks about this shift and proposes strategies to improve comprehension and retention in digital reading environments for both students and librarians.
