We tried to shed light on the role of readers as a group in the reality of accelerating changes in the literary environment and explore literary educational implications. Pierre Levy’s collective intelligence is “an intelligence that is distributed everywhere, constantly valued, adjusted in real-time, and reaches the actual mobilization of capabilities.” From the collective intelligence perspective, the reader’s role as the subject of collective intelligence was identified as “crossing online and offline spaces through literary texts,” “planning literary communication for many readers,” and “practicing resistance to literary power through solidarity.” Three suggestions were proposed to cultivate teaching readers as the subjects of collective intelligence formation in literary education. First, the characteristics of the reader group as a community of taste should be strengthened by linking communication in online and offline spaces. Second, developing the qualities that plan and lead literary communication is necessary. Third, co-creation and publishing experience should be embodied by actively utilizing online platforms or content.
