Well, not much news to report today, but some good insight nonetheless. Somewhere in the twittersphere, the following link was pitched out: http://chronicle.com/article/A-Canadian-2-Year-College/125641/ The article details a change process that was undertaken previously at AC under the Leadership of Dr. Mac. Thus far, the e-text experiment has not shown similar organization or purpose. My teachers don't use them, nor have they adopted any different pedagogical approaches to reflect their presence. Also, an accounting program should have been amongst the last arguably for inclusion in this experiment. There is no enhanced content so far, and frankly, I'm not sure that Accounting lends itself to multimedia at all. Numbers and documentation don't really make for compelling animation or video. It's worrisome that the college hasn't elicited feedback from users this year (at least not on a wide basis). It would be a shame if inertia is the only reason this experiment continues.
