Concerns & ChallengesConcerns & ChallengesConcerns & ChallengesConcerns & Challenges
Digital Rights Management (DRM) - prevents copying of text or printing of text or, in some cases, reading the text on a different device, e.g. Adobe Digital Edition PDFs seem to lock your content to the device it was registered to.
Study Skills - Not being able to copy text or annotate text or print text is also a pain.
Publisher perspective - Lack of ability to print is particularly problematic for complex.
Accessibility needs - most have computers, but if they have a problem with their technology, many do not have the resources to get back online quickly
Compatibility - between devices (i.e. epub may not work on some devises)
Readability - Most of my students find reading on a screen uncomfortable. Therefore many seem unwilling to do the reading.
Staff Support - Inadequate training or experience on the part of staff and faculty leads to wasted opportunities to utilize these resources.
