Teachers can add notes to the text as a reminder or hints for students to refer to when they try to answer the questions. Sometimes students find it hard to finish reading exercise on their own. With Actively Learn, teachers can add notes, questions, multimedia materials from the web, to a reading text which is definitely useful. Last but not least, we created an interactive reading comprehension task with Actively Learn. It might not be able to arouse their interest with itsВ boring design.
