Impact on Student Learning
“Reinforcing these findings, students in the baseline study who found their instructors’ annotations, highlights, and added e-text materials useful or whose instructors encouraged use of the e-textbooks were:
● significantly more likely to report that the e-textbooks helped them better understand the course ideas and concepts,
● allowed them to better organize and structure their learning, increased their engagement with course content,
● and made their study time more efficient.”Grajek 2013

@nononi28 @gratzee
“Three factors have held back instructors’ ability and willingness to publish custom materials.
The first is the lack of technology; the second is rethinking of the economic model related to publishing and technological issues dealing with security, copyright, and patenting; and the third is the numerous erroneous assumptions and myths among instructors that accompany the idea of customization.”
