Abstract

Despite the multitude of existing interfaces for annotation, little is known about their influence on the created annotations. In this paper, first findings of a comparative video-supported study of active reading are presented. The support for active reading offered by traditional paper-and-pencil vs. two existing annotation tools for the World Wide Web is examined and possible implications for annotation systems are drawn.An immediate conclusion is the existence of a strong need for simplicity and the importance of generic tools that can be adapted to the user's task at hand.
