  • @Mariya E-textbooks can be accessed on various devices, making them convenient for students on the go.

  • @Bushra-Tahir E-textbooks are often less expensive than traditional textbooks, especially for older or out-of-print titles.

  • @Bushra-Tahir E-textbooks often have search functions that allow users to find specific information quickly and easily annotate content.

  • @Sanaa Some e-textbooks include interactive features like videos, simulations, and quizzes.

  • @HANIAc1ea38cde6 Traditional textbooks provide a more tangible and familiar reading experience for some learners.

  • @Bakht54a5e4eb47 Traditional textbooks can be used without requiring an internet connection or a special device.

  • @Sanam Some students may prefer the interactive elements and search capabilities of e-textbooks, while others may prefer the tactile and familiar experience of traditional textbooks.

  • Totally agree, e-textbooks could help students by having lighter backpack, easier to access, and won't have books swapped by accident. However, there are some concerns with e-textbook. One is being to make students use their electronic devices, and to some extents this could be used as an excuse to keep hogging on their gadgets more often while they're not using it for learning purposes the entire time.

    It is prone to distraction from other things that will be easily accessed such as social media apps, online streaming and video games. A simple message or pop-up will take their attention away. Lastly, e-textbooks are prone to copyright infringement due to either the price is still pretty steep so they will try to find the most affordable (or even free) version of it. Which could create a situation where we want to teach and instill the value of integrity to our students, while we know the prices of e-textbooks don't always come in an affordable price.

  • Or myself I prefer paper books
    But E-books are helpful for students with learning differences. Text-to-speech features help struggling readers, and interactive quizzes give instant feedback. They offer flexibility and make learning more accessible to everyone.
