Survey: Demand for digital course materials reaches record high

by Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

A new survey from Pearson Education reveals that 80% of a surveyed group of students and faculty say that digital learning materials are part of the future of higher education, and would help with challenges in learning and affordability. Only 56% of survey respondents say their schools have at least half of the course materials available in digital format, despite the costs of traditional textbooks having risen more than 1,000% in the last 40 years. Some vendors say digital materials are helpful not only in increasing affordability for students, but also in collecting student data on learning styles and trends.
