Technology that Supports eLearning

Ebooks Rewrite the Rules of Education

In regards to eLearning, I was curious about eBooks so this is what led me in my article search. I found an article called, EBooks Rewrite the Rules of Education. It was an interesting article that discussed how eBooks are entering into the educational arena and the perks of using them.

According to the article, eBooks save people time, money, and are easier to use and access. EBooks aso give students more individualized learning experiences. EBooks have been made easier because of Web 2.0 applications, iphones, Safari Bookbag, and reading devices like Amazon Kindle. There has also been a lot of promotion for eBooks. Last year, an event called “Read an E-Book Week” took place. Its goal was to inform the public about the advantages of reading material electronically (p.12). Some sites, mentioned in this article, will let eBook viewers access some books and software for free. That within itself is really worth checking into!
