Key Takeaways
A two-year university-wide study of students' e-textbook practices found that e-textbook use has increased and become broader demographically.
Lower cost and convenience remain the top reasons students purchase an e-textbook, not the interactive features designed to enhance learning.
The instructor's role has not changed significantly in the past two years, suggesting the need for further professional development including increased awareness, instruction, and active modeling.
"Thought Leadership
Over the past twenty years, Don and others have literally "written the books" on organizational transformation to meet the emerging context of the Knowledge Age. The Strategic Initiatives team has combined thought leadership and artful practice to shape the leading edge of thinking on leading and navigating change, crafting and executing strategy, focusing on value, and performance measurement. Our team has also defined best practice in e-learning, knowledge-sharing and developing e-knowledge repositories, and designing technology-rich facilities for Knowledge Age applications. Strategic Initiatives uses thought leadership to generate the insights that position our clients for success. Our thought leadership has been manifested in publications, presentations and speaking appearances, satellite/Web broadcasts, and other venues."
