eTextbooks: The Future of Textbooks
With the end of the semester just around the corner, it is time to start learning about the benefits of using eTextbooks. First, though, you must understand why this is important for Hocking College students. Hocking College plans to include a small course fee, starting autumn semester 2014, so students can access unlimited eTextbooks throughout the school year. Paper textbooks will still be available, but at a greatly reduced cost.
Etextbooks can be accessed through a smartphone, tablet or computer/laptop. They provide students many advantages, which is what this series in Student Centered is all about. During spring semester 2014, Culinary and Allied Health students will continue to test this program. Come autumn 2014, all students will be able to take advantage of eTextbooks.
Read next month to learn about the benefits of eTextbooks. EdMap is the company assisting Hocking College with this new program.
