There is a problem with higher education in America. The cost of tuition has been compounded by the skyrocketing cost of textbooks. Traditional print text books have created a rigid system in our schools which place monetary stress on the students (about $900 dollars a year), inflexible and dated content as source materials for professors, and an unsustainable impact on the enviroment (4 billion trees a year).
Thankfully technology has caught up with our needs and a solution has arison to match this costly problem. e-books, or digital textbooks, are now readily available at lower cost to traditional texts and provide advanced and interative teaching tools limited only by the imagination of our professors.
Jim Doti, as president of our school lead us out of this costly and deeply flawed system. Act as a trailblazer in the field of education and establish Chapman University as a progessive and innovative institution which respects concerns of its student body and the world as a whole. Make the switch from a print based system and establish a digital based e-book system of textbooks.
This blog will explore the facets of this issue, while fleshing out the arguments I have just laid out with imperical data and adaptive tools to reach my goal of e-books for Chapman University.
