Students of all ages, from pre-school through post-doc, find themselves faced with electronic editions of textbooks and courses--most of them interesting, but often far from manageable or navigable in short order. In the fragmented personal communication market, users must take responsibility for the communication preferences of the recipients of messages and information. I HAVE to know that my brother prefers to receive texts. My sister doesn't text at all. My international friends like Skype, or maybe no--perhaps WhatsApp. Some business partners want me to leave voice mail on a mobile number. Others never listen to voice mail at all. Similarly, the e-text/e-course market offers a breadth of tools designed to "improve" learning--not caring too much whether every user must interact with 3-5 DIFFERENT types of tools, depending upon their instructor, the course, the publishing company, the institution's capacities and so forth! What is your experience with e-learning since you started school? What works? What do you dislike? Here's ONE of many articles published online about e-learning.
