Textbook 2.0


An article recently reported on by CNN outlines a new way of learning and using the classic textbook by putting the course materials online. This Connexions website offers students a place to view electronic versions of textbooks and teachers a place to add to the information by way of the Creative Commons licensing. Each lesson is known as a "module" and those are divided up into the educational categories that they represent. Another point that should be noted, this site is not only offered in English, but has stretched to other languages, including but not limited to Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. This website can be very useful to educators and students alike by way of the convenience it provides. If you would like to read the article, check it out here!
