Will eBooks soon be replacing textbooks?

Uncategorized, by admin.

I just read an article on CNN.com about how the iPad will be tested as a learning tool on college campuses this fall. I think this is very exciting news. I do not own an iPad but I can see the advantages of having one, especially in an academic environment where you are constantly having to carry big heavy books to class. I had never read an eBook until this summer, when I signed up for an online course. It takes some getting used to and I did find myself printing out some of the text so I could read it in paper form, but I think more and more colleges will be offering eBooks in the future, regardless of whether the course is taught online or in class. I think it is so important in today’s world to keep up with technology no matter what field you go into. Therefore, I think introducing iPads to college campuses is a positive thing, because it will help students develop the technical skills and competitive edge they need as they prepare to enter today’s job market.

If you want to read more on this topic here is a link to the CNN article I mentioned:
