The teacher has lots of texts for the students and puts them all online, each document in a separate file.

Expecting students to read texts online

Class assessments show that students are not reading the articles. Interviews with students show that they prefer not to read online and would rather print out the articles and read them over a latte with their friends at the coffee shop.

Consolidating files for easy printout

To better support studying, sets of documents are consolidated into single files that can be both read online or easily printed out, whichever works best for the student.
