• In Event: Roundtables Thur1
  In Roundtable Session: D&D - Roundtables Thur1

Short Description

This roundtable presents research results from a study investigating student choices and experiences using various electronic text formats in a semester-long instructional design course; text format was framed as an instructional design problem, and students were tasked with selecting their preferred format and evaluating it each week. Some students uncovered affordances of e-formats, but all students also reported barriers when using e-formats. Implications for librarians and teaching faculty are discussed.
