A1 Affordability. Text inflation is well above overall rate. Makes college hard. eTextbooks can save up to 70% #edsurgechat

A2: much the same as K-12, it also more opportunities for differentiation, when levels vary dramatically #edsurgechat

EDUcre8ive Apr 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: if by digital resources we mean digital versions of books & content - that's the kind of thinking we need to get away from #EdsurgeChat
