Pew Research studies on digital.
The Pew Research Center recently released results from a pair of survey studies. In one study with the Chronicle of Higher Education, two-thirds of 1055 college presidents predicted that in 10 years more than half of all textbooks used in undergraduate programs will be in digital format. In the other study, which focused on college graduates, 23% had taken a class online, with that number growing to 46% among students graduating in the last decade. Online classes are where the larger percentage of digital adoptions currently appear to be. Thus it is interesting that college presidents are nearly twice as likely than graduates to indicate that current online class offerings are equal to the in-class experience.
