[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, not bothered. Books are costly, out of date, and stagnant. Online resources are dynamic and cost effective. [/quote] FYI, online resources cost the same as print books. That's as it should be, they shouldn't be cheaper, since it's the same information. But people erroneously think that they are.[/quote] They have better information because they are updated regularly. They also have interactive tools that help you work with the information and search tools. They are also better for kids with visual issues, dyslexia, executive function issues etc. because the supports are built in.[/quote] I wouldn't generalize this. A lot of textbooks designed over the last decade (online or not) do not measure up, particularly in Math. Here, the older the book, the better it is. This is because of the prevailing trends in the "math education" academic departments and due to the exclusion of domain experts.[/quote]
