  • Yesterday on Twitter I asked for false Geometry statements for which it's easy to draw a counterexample. Twitter is brilliant for this - everybody can come up with a-couple-a-three no problem, but it would be a pain to sit and think of a dozen. And even when you did, they might not be the best dozen for your purposes. After waiting a day, I got to pick from lots.

The End of the Textbook as We Know It - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 3 views

shared by Devon Dickau on 26 Oct 10 - No Cached
  • For years observers have predicted a coming wave of e-textbooks. But so far it just hasn't happened. One explanation for the delay is that while music fans were eager to try a new, more portable form of entertainment, students tend to be more conservative when choosing required materials for their studies. For a real disruption in the textbook market, students may have to be forced to change.
  • saying that e-textbooks should be required reading and that colleges should be the ones charging for them
  • radical shift
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Here's the new plan: Colleges require students to pay a course-materials fee, which would be used to buy e-books for all of them (whatever text the professor recommends, just as in the old model).
  • they're far cheaper to produce than printed texts
  • publishers could eliminate the used-book market and reduce incentives for students to illegally download copies as well
  • When students pay more for new textbooks than tuition in a year, then something's wrong
  • Tricky issues remain, though. What if a professor wrote the textbook assigned for his or her class? Is it ethical to force students to buy it, even at a reduced rate? And what if students feel they are better off on their own, where they have the option of sharing or borrowing a book at no cost?
  • In music, the Internet reduced album sales as more people bought only the individual songs they wanted. For textbooks, that may mean letting students (or brokers at colleges) buy only the chapters they want. Or only supplementary materials like instructional videos and interactive homework problems, all delivered online. And that really would be the end of the textbook as we know it.

    I would be for this. I could not believe a place so big on recycling (Harvard) murdered so many trees with the printing of course packs. I like this idea if you could get the material from other sources than just the school (say the author or publisher directly or something like Amazon). Otherwise, there is no opportunity for competition or bargaining.

Too many stakeholders (parents, Unions, adhow to change, acting like weeds or plagues that choke off plant growth.
