 | NY Times article: In a Digital Future, Textbooks Are History |

"Textbooks have not gone the way of the scroll yet, but many educators say that it will not be long before they are replaced by digital versions — or supplanted altogether by lessons assembled from the wealth of free courseware, educational games, videos and projects on the Web." Interesting, relevant, well-written article. See attached. |

"...not be long" indeed!! See: Textbooks That Professors Can Rewrite Digitally <snip> "In a kind of Wikipedia of textbooks, Macmillan, one of the five largest publishers of trade books and textbooks, is introducing software called DynamicBooks, which will allow college instructors to edit digital editions of textbooks and customize them for their individual classes." </snip> http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/22/business/media/22textbook.html?scp=3&sq=Macmillan&st=cse |
