Ohio State considering switch to digital textbooks to help students save money - Chris White, ABC6

With the costs of higher education constantly on the rise, Ohio State hopes to alleviate some burden from students by offering digital course materials. The plan is being considered by university leaders after a pilot program, CarmenBooks, was provided for students this semester. The university said all students in the program were offered digital access to course materials directly using eReader software. “Once a student enrolls in a course, the textbook is seamlessly there. They have access before the first day of class,” said Jennie Babcock, undergraduate program director at the College of Social Work. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/ohio-state-considering-switch-to-digital-textbooks-to-help-students-save-money
