Learning is not supposed to be done on a computer screen. At least not in the way that text is written now. There are two issues:

1. Eyes were not meant to look at sources of light, we are supposed to get information from reflected, and mostly scattered light. The effect might come close for some devices, but it is not exactly the same.

2. Reading was meant to be done from texts that are on an object that you hold in your hand. On some level, your brain is supposed to know the distance between the eye and the text. Sitting behind a desk you have to compromise between the best position for your back and the best position for your eye sight.
All of my classes are online. Our books too.
