It is aimed to offer a guideline on how a text should be designed to enhance the learning effect and to offer the easiest and most efficient design for a student to work with. The study was conducted in several classrooms of a vocational school in Austria.

The study showed that a well designed text led to 18.8 % increase in reading speed, a 13.5% increase in remembered information as well as an 32.1 % increase in testing time. The biggest difference however was the time needed to retrieve information from the text with a 36.9 % In general, wh working with the text, the reader friendly designed texts proved to be easier to read, faster to use and helped in remembering the information.
