Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to enhancing reading retention of users reading electronic text. A set of user data associated with a user currently reading electronic text on a device is received, the set of user data indicative of a reading retention of the user. The set of user data is analyzed to determine whether a retention enhancement action should be issued. In response to a determination that a retention action should be issued, the retention enhancement action is issued at the device the user is currently reading electronic text on.
Claims10
A system comprising:
- a memory storing program instructions;
- and
- a processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program instructions to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a set of user data associated with a user currently reading electronic text on a device, the set of user data indicative of a reading retention of the user, wherein the set of data includes reading speed data based on a number of words read by the user over time, input interaction data based on user inputs from at least one input device coupled to the device indicative of the user's interaction with the electronic text, and navigation data indicative of the user's navigation patterns through the electronic text on the device;
- analyzing the set of user data to determine that the user currently reading electronic text on the device has a degraded retention level based on a plurality of criteria, each criteria having a weight, wherein the plurality of criteria include a reading speed criterion based on the reading speed data, an input interaction criterion based on the input interaction data, and a navigation data criterion based on the navigation data, wherein determining that the user has the degraded retention level indicates that a retention action should be issued;
- and
- executing, in response to determining that the user has the degraded retention level and thus the retention action should be issued, the retention action at the device the user is currently reading electronic text on to improve a retention level of the user beyond the degraded retention level in real-time.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a set of user data associated with a user currently reading electronic text on a device, the set of user data indicative of a reading retention of the user, wherein the set of data includes reading speed data based on a number of words read by the user over time, input interaction data based on user inputs from at least one input device coupled to the device indicative of the user's interaction with the electronic text, and navigation data indicative of the user's navigation patterns through the electronic text on the device;
- analyzing the set of user data to determine that the user currently reading electronic text on the device has a degraded retention level based on a plurality of criteria, each criteria having a weight, wherein the plurality of criteria include a reading speed criterion based on the reading speed data, an input interaction criterion based on the input interaction data, and a navigation data criterion based on the navigation data, wherein determining that the user has the degraded retention level indicates that a retention action should be issued;
- and
- executing, in response to determining that the user has the degraded retention level and thus the retention action should be issued, the retention action at the device the user is currently reading electronic text on to improve a retention level of the user beyond the degraded retention level in real-time.
