Embracing e-textbooks: Yakima Valley-area colleges lag in replacing costly books with more affordable options
YAKIMA, Wash. — Much like news, music and banking, a digital transition has taken place inside college classrooms.
With each passing year, more students and instructors have incorporated e-books, online documents and media into lectures and homework. The materials open up new ways, such as real-time note sharing or interactive content, to learn. They also offer a more cost-conscious option than buying a new or used physical textbook.
