ABSTRACT:
The Education Bureau of HKSAR had organised the Junior Secondary History e-Reading Award Scheme in 2020 to integrate subject-based e-reading and self-directed learning to promote ‘reading to learning History. A research in its effectiveness is conducted by using confusion matrix to determine the influential factors for attracting junior secondary students to read on a cloud-based reading platform. The result showed that e-book is very effective to motivate students to read history article. Faster reading speed of an e-book is one of the reasons for students to prefer reading e-book rather than traditional book. On the other hand, e-book could also arise their interests in reading which is another factor for students to prefer e-book over traditional books. The accuracy of these findings are 86.7% and 93.9% respectively.
