We study eye gaze movement behavior during paper reading and generate a series of
annotations from a user's reading features: gray shading to indicate reading speed, borders
to indicate frequency of re-reading, and lines to indicate transitions between sections of a
document. Through a user study, we validate that our SocialReading system that shares
teachers' gaze data for an academic paper can improve students' reading comprehension of
that paper.
