Xreading: What’s New and What’s Coming
Permission to Record
Xreading is digital library that gives students access to over a thousand graded readers from major publishers such as CUP, Cengage, and Macmillan. Students have unlimited access to all books as well as audio narrations, ratings, and quizzes. In addition, the system tracks students' reading progress (books read, words read, reading speed, quiz scores, etc.) so it makes management and assessment much easier for teachers. The system is constantly evolving and growing in terms of the number of books and features. In this presentation, the founder of Xreading will explain the new functionality that has been added over the past year, including the speed-reading and journal components, and what is planned for the future. Current users of the system are encouraged to provide feedback and suggestions based on their experience.
