\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – With the technological advent of e-books, e-readers and other digital innovations, reading material has moved from print media to online.

Dr. Donald Luck<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cMy lecture deals with my research on the process of reading online, how reading differs from print to screen and strategies for improving the screen reading experience,\u201d Luck said. \u201cThese strategies will be demonstrated and attendees are encouraged to bring laptops and tablets to implement these strategies and improve their own screen reading experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luck has been involved in implementing technology in schools since having first used a computer in his classroom in 1979. His doctoral research was one of the first research projects to investigate the effect of email on classroom teachers and their communication satisfaction. He currently teaches courses in the instructional technology specialty area of the curriculum and instruction master\u2019s degree program at APSU. He is associate editor of the SRATE Journal and current president of the National Social Science Association.<\/p>\n

He has a bachelor\u2019s in history from Wartburg College, and he earned both his doctorate in curriculum and instruction and master\u2019s in secondary administration from the University of Northern Iowa.<\/p>\n
