Abstract
Reading comprehension is a skill that is crucial in everyday life, as it allows people to read critically and understand the various texts they encounter. Reading comprehension is not a skill that is actively taught or improved upon in most Western countries, despite its relative importance to everyday life. As a result, university readers struggle with comprehension skills, which can impact their employment prospects. The present study explores the initial implementation of a potential solution to this issue. This study will focus on Phase 1 of a larger project and will implement a qualitative methodology of reflexive journaling to reflect on the initial curriculum design, pedagogical practice, and technological challenges and evaluate the construction and implementation of an online learning platform designed to assist students in improving reading comprehension.
