Children of all age groups are exposed to digital instruction and they’ll need aptitude in that format in later years and through life. With the high use of digital media rather than physical books in schools, there is a need for more research comparing it to traditional pen and paper learning.
Researcher and psychologist Patricia Alexander undertook a study to examine research on digital learning. Although the topic was covered in almost 900 studies, only a small handful directly compared digital learning to paper. In looking at the studies, though, one category did have measurable data. When learning online, comprehension drops at a certain point sooner than if using handheld books.

Join the debate between digital or paper writing for these textbooks. Do the research and come up with an informed opinion to consider.
