“…The digital group spent more time reading the article in the initial reading stage and rarely reread it, in contrast to the paper reading group who first skimmed the article and then reread the parts deemed most MHCI 107-8 important, exhibiting longer total fixation durations in the rereading stage and a greater number of instances of rereading across pages. In sum, we could say that the results of this study appear to reveal that reading in print versus digital media employs different cognitive strategies, with reading in print media showing more selective and intentional reading behaviors [40], [41]. Automating visual word choice through recognition is also important for readers, as non-automated or laborious word recognition occupies attention resources that may be more useful for higher-level comprehension and memory storage [28], [42].…”

The aim of this work is to understand the impact of typography on humans in terms of reading. Several tests were carried out to achieve the proposed objective of understanding the influence of different visual variables to ensure a more precise reading process. Four variables were studied using various sensors, such as the Brain Computer Interaction (BCI) device, to measure brain activity (active, neutral, and calm) and heart rate activity (HRA). The reading time and the number of errors were also considered. The results show that the visual variables have a different impact considering the type of text (scientific and children's text) as well as the reading medium (paper or screen). In addition, the results show that preferences vary according to the type of visual variables as predicted and as confirmed by the measurements taken during the reading process. However, oddly enough, the participants when questioned during the survey, their answers were not coincident by the measurement results. For this reason, this empirical study in interaction design is important as a future reference approach to the perceptibility and readability of text. On the other hand, the use of BCI and HRA parameters is not widely described in the literature. So, this paper allowed to perceive and identify the most adaptable typographic parameters both in the type of text and in the reading medium.

“…This approach can attract the attention of students and make learning more interactive. In previous study (Jian, 2023), students have a positive attitude toward reading comics and are more likely to learn science through this approach than through texts. Using comics instead of textbooks is more profitable for students with moderate abilities is more profitable when learning science topics (Lin et al, 2016).…”

This research introduces an innovative educational resource for Physics education, focusing on the captivating story of J. J. Thomson's. Comics, with their visually immersive nature, effectively merge text and visuals to accommodate diverse learning styles. They engage students through narratives and vivid visuals, enhancing the educational experience. Utilizing Thiagarajan’s 4D approach (define, design, develop, disseminate), the study collects historical sources in the definition stage and meticulously plans visual narratives in the design stage. Visual literacy is highlighted, enabling students to critically analyze visual information. In the development stage, comics are refined, expert-evaluated, and tested on users. These comics are then disseminated via the Webtoon platform. The results highlight comics' potential as a valuable teaching tool, captivating students with engaging narratives and rich visuals, making Physics education more enjoyable. Moreover, comics demonstrate their broader relevance in Physics instruction, contributing to the ongoing discourse on innovative and visually engaging teaching methods.
