Good Morning,
Can you believe how fast the summer went - I hope you all enjoyed the long Labor Day weekend! With September arriving, our first 25% checkpoint is upon us. I will be going into your courses this week to check for 25% completion.
As we develop online courses it is important to stay in touch with the current research regarding online technologies. In a recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education there was a report on digital textbooks and whether or not students preferred the digital textbook over the printed textbook.
At Globe Education Network we use a combination of both, but for the most part have stuck with printed textbooks and supplement with online resources. It looks like we are on track for now. 75% of surveyed students prefer a printed textbook over an electronic one. And 60% said that even if a free digital copy were available, they would still pay for a low-cost print version. As you ask students to read information online, please keep this information in mind. Your students will often print out the information so that they have it in paper form. To read more from this article please visit:
