Abstract

This research in progress examines the effect of e-book use on students enrolled in a computer literacy course at a medium-sized, Midwestern university by comparing performance results of students using an e-book with students utilizing a traditional print textbook. Results from pre- and post-tests plus survey results are presented, as well as educational implications for teaching and student learning and for training users of technology.
