Cavanaugh (2002) characterized the e-book by software and hardware; software has texts, pictures and other information whilst hardware is a device or program that displays on a screen. Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four different stages of learning. His theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence. Some features of E-books include: easy accessibility, portable and lightweight, making it easy to carry around, easy on the eyes and interactive elements

My university never did this, but it is a brilliant idea.mouseofcards89 wrote: ↑27 Dec 2011, 11:00 For those of you who are either presently in university/college or have graduated recently, do/did any of your professors assign textbooks that were available in e-book format on Amazon? I understand that e-readers are not ubiquitous, but a one-time investment of $130 could save students exorbitant expenses on textbooks. Think about this carefully. Textbooks would be more expensive than typical novels, too, but digital versions could eliminate at least 50% of production costs. Do this in conjunction with digitally disseminated courses (such as television networks expressly for university curricula) and you've just eliminated 90% of university costs. I'm wondering if any profs have caught onto this yet.
