Kolowich, S. (2010) Highlighting e-Readers Inside Higher Education, February 23
Reports are now in from three universities with student feedback on the use of the Kindle for teaching and learning. No real surprises here – the Kindle doesn’t have features that many students need, but these will come, if not from Kindle then from competitors.
And don’t call e-readers ‘green’. They may save paper, but they are plastic and metal and are likely to have a shorter life than books.
