A new paperback to complement StatLect online lectures
INCREASE FOCUS
Digital textbooks often provide great learning experiences, but they can lead to inferior outcomes when the computer becomes a source of distractions (twitter, fb, e-mail, etc.). The best outcomes are achieved when a digital textbook is coupled with a paper textbook.
REDUCE SCREEN TIME
Many students prefer to limit the number of hours per day spent in front of a computer screen or reading a tablet. Others just like the look and feel of paper textbooks. Some find it more relaxing. Moreover, a paper textbook never runs out of battery!
MAKE ANNOTATIONS
Several students like to make annotations on their textbooks and underline important parts. This is done very efficiently on paper, much less on a computer. On the first reading the textbook is personalized with annotations, then the revision process becomes more efficient.
