Abstract

Both classroom and online learning ask students doing reading activities. The mature and widely used e-readers allow students reading and making annotation on the screen with their computer, tablet, or even smartphone. Annotations will be a very important resource aside from the notes for students while preparing for exams. However, sometimes students might think something is not important or relevant or just simply overlook while making annotations on the materials. Such annotations might lead to lose marks later when they are writing exams. The research team has developed an online annotation system that allows teachers to create online reading activities for their students and review students’ annotations on the e-text. Moreover, with the help of a bioinspired innovative clustering method GRACE (General Rapid Annotation Clustering Enhancement), students will be offered annotation recommendations based on the similarity their annotations have from other students on the same text. In such case, students may reconsider the content they chose to ignore or overlooked earlier and make their annotations more complete and better for exam preparation later.
