Online and digital textbooks open a new chapter in the history of U.S. education - eSchool News
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger this past spring launched an ambitious initiative to see if the state's 6 million public school students could use more online learning materials, including open courseware--perhaps saving millions of dollars a year in textbook purchases. Now, other states are watching to see how the initiative fares. In November, the Texas Education Agency took the first step toward such a vision by calling for bids for online material from both traditional publishers and online content providers. Texas officials expect to have the first online materials available for students in fall 2010.
