Report on Digital and Open Textbooks

The Student Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG) has released a report on their recent study of digital textbooks: “Course Correction: How Digital Textbooks are Off Track and How to Set Them Straight.” The report recommends support for “open textbooks” that are offered free online. You can download the entire Report at the Student PIRG website. Today’s LA Times and the The Chronicle of Higher Education Wired Campus provide media coverage about the Report.
