Hey guys,
Simple question; what's the best app to download college textbooks from? What's the most comfortable and affordable?
I'd be willing to download and try them all, but I don't want to risk a couple $100 per test lol
Today, the largest university system in the world, the California State University system, announced a pilot for $150 lower-division online courses at one of its campuses — a move that spells the end of higher education as we know it. Lower-division courses are the financial backbone of many part-time faculty and departments (especially the humanities).
Stop: "In order to solve this problem, Education Minister Mariastella Gelmini proposed to deduce cost (and weight!) of textbooks by encouraging schools to adopt digital textbooks starting from 2011."
As we mentioned previously, the Kno textbook app comes pre-loaded on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Yesterday at the launch event in New York City we got a chance to see it in action. The Kno app allows students k-12 and the college level to download textbooks in which they can annotate and highlight, but they are also interactive.
Hello All!
There's a possibility that I'll be going to a University this fall. Recently I got a tablet, and I'm wondering if it'll be enough to help me in college. For example; I'll be using it for recording lectures, reading textbooks, writing notes and reading powerpoints and other documents.
Also, is there a way I can fix the dictionary? It isn't working like I want it too.
For many startups, creating the educational platform (and learning experience) of the future began with reinventing the presentation, distribution — really, the essence — of educational content. And what is the most familiar package for that content? The good ole textbook, in all its rigid and bulky glory.
Not wanting to be outdone by South Korea and others, which mandated the use of digital textbooks by 2015, earlier this year the FCC and the Department of Ed released the Digital Textbook Playbook to help accelerate digital textbook adoption among American schools.
Since first emerging early last year, Boston-based startup Boundless has been on a mission to give students a free alternative to the financial and physical costs of bulky backpacks brimming with pricey hard-copy textbooks.
Thought I'd share this little (not really little) find.
