Stefania Carioli, Andrea Peru

After an analysis of reading comprehension processes and of how these processes change in the Internet environment, in this paper we consider the possible uses of the Think Aloud metacognitive technique to develop an understanding of online reading. At the end, we briefly describe the salient points of the MOOC «Stop and Think. Modeling the process of online reading comprehension using Think Aloud»’, designed to train primary and secondary school teachers to use the Think-Aloud to build the comprehension of online texts.
