UW-Madison, Madison College and more than two dozen other institutions of higher education are taking part in a pilot project to evaluate digital learning materials as an alternative to the more traditional ? but costly and bulky ? textbooks students have relied on for as long as most can remember. ?By working as part of a community like this where numerous other institutions are involved, this gives us more leverage with the publishers than if we were working alone on examining e-texts,? says Bruce Maas, UW-Madison?s vice provost for information technology.
