Part two of our interview with CourseSmart's Chief Marketing Officer.

Last week we published Part 1 of this interview, in which we learned a great deal about digital course materials and CourseSmart, and this week we continue this learning journey with Part 2 of the dialogue.

In this interview we examine the following:

  • What is it going to take for electronic textbooks to become the dominant distribution method, displacing paper text books?
  • What are the key hurdles that digital textbook vendors have to overcome to make electronic texts the norm rather than the exception?
  • Are there key areas, like specific academic subjects, types of institutions, or other market segments that have seen a higher adoption rate with digital course materials?
  • How much of a challenge does reading device dependence present in terms of the proliferation of the eTextbook?
  • What kinds of exciting developments can we look forward to from CourseSmart in 2012?

 

Our thanks once again to Jill Ambrose and CourseSmart for providing this in depth interview!
