Abstract

The world is moving very fast in economic, technological and education ground and all those changes bringing the big impact on the roads of an achievement we are dream. The origins of writing date all the way back to information written on leather, tree bark and stone which eventually evolved into paper. Using paper however has become a major challenge. The production process of paper is expensive and the resulting product heavy to carry for children, which also contributes negatively in environmental pollution that makes it unsustainable. To overcome these problems an E-Books came into place instead of traditional paper books. The data was collected from two groups of 30 BS English first-semester students by using mixed-method experimental study in Superior University Golden Campus Lahore. The other was a standard group in which students studied paper books; and the experimental one, using digital resources like PDF books or video classes available through an AI tool developed for this study with WhatsApp. For data analysis, thematic interviews were conducted with the doctors from Children's Hospital Lahore (total of five) I also used a posttest a summative achievement test, that indicated the students who followed through with reading from digital books scored substantially overall higher. These students also scored higher on time-based (eg, multiple-choice tests) but lower in power-based assessments (ie, essay questions). The power test in which students learned digital was finished on time by the paper book learner, but it is likely to be improved sense there are other study that can practice mechanical keyboard typing. When it comes to their vision and hearing, reading on a screen proved no less conducive than traditional materials for students of any age group — though those who used e-book readers were more prone to color blindness. The study suggests the government to push E-Books, set up tablet libraries in schools and special training for teachers.
