University textbooks are getting a 21st century facelift. The University’s new e-book pilot program, sponsored by the Information Technology department and the KU Bookstore, will allow students to express their opinions on whether professors should require digital or traditional materials for the classroom. This program will conduct a study with four pilot classes this semester, including PHIL 160, HSES 330, HSES 260 and BIO 246. The pilot only uses one section in each class and includes about 700 students. “The goal of this pilot is to be able to provide faculty with information that will help them make informed decisions about what materials to use in their class,” said Paul Farran, chief of staff for The University of Kansas Chief Information Officer.
