Collaborative reading

Digitally shaping collaborative reading and learning

SHRIMP is a digital reading tool that supports students in academic reading and opens up new ways for lecturers to make text editing interactive and collaborative. Features such as annotating, commenting, discussing and linking transfer key reading techniques into the digital space and turn reading into an active learning process.

SHRIMP promotes critical thinking and exchange about texts and is therefore versatile in its application. The tool is ideal for preparing for seminars, joint text analysis or discussing complex content. Lecturers can add tasks and questions, while students can write comments, ask questions or highlight terms. This creates a lively learning space in which knowledge is made visible and interconnected. The tool supports individual learning processes as well as collaborative forms of work, offering flexible options for different teaching scenarios – from independent practice of academic reading strategies to guided group work with feedback and discussion.
