Community colleges take a closer look at eBooks


In California, the Twenty Million Minds Foundation is working with the Central California Community Colleges Committed to Change Consortium to give students access to free digital textbooks, according to a recent report in The Bakersfield Californian.

The effort is part of a $20 million federal grant program to train 3,000 students in healthcare, agriculture and clean energy.

The project relies on learning material developed by faculty.

“We are early enough in this whole research that that is a good question to think about,” Wells said.
