[ED-TECH] Electronic Textbooks - Lunch and Learn session

On Friday, November 18, the IAC will host a Webinar on Electronic Textbooks.  The description leans toward on-line courses, but the material should be valuable to anyone interested in eBooks, I think.  Note that this webinar begins at 2:00 PM, so we will provide refreshments, but not a complete meal.

 

Registration is required.  To register, go to http://www.snurl.com/textbooks and fill out the on-line form.

Webinar: Using Digital Textbooks in Online Courses

Rhonda M. Epper, Director, Online Program Development, Community College of Denver
Lisa Cheney-Steen, Interim Director & Academic Dean, Colorado Community Colleges Online

The availability of learning materials in digital formats is growing rapidly. Libraries of digital learning objects, electronic course packs, and digital textbooks present new opportunities for faculty to enrich their online courses, while giving students the convenience of having course materials embedded into their online experiences. This session will provide an overview of the latest developments in digital textbooks, financial and hosting models being developed for pilot courses in Colorado, and explore the opportunities for expanding the use of digital textbooks in higher education.
