ETEC 611 Literature Review
Attitudes and Behaviors of College Students Usage of Electronic Books
A literature review is the synthesis of several peer reviewed articles pertaining to a narrow and specific topic. It is not a personal commentary. I chose the topic of electronic books in a college or higher academic setting. Recent technology has made a significant impact on printed reading material such as books, articles, journals, etc. A large number of printed reading material can now be found in electronic form. Various databases offer a wealth of electronic books including many college textbooks. Perceptions of using electronic books amongst college students has changed since the 1970's. I feel it is important to gain a better understanding of how this form of educational technology can be used to improve the learning and teaching process.
