U of Phoenix is going bookless

The University of Phoenix is going bookless. Detroit Free Press says within a year the school\’s 95,000 students will stop buying traditional textbooks. Instead, required reading materials, workbooks, syllabi and part of a reference library will be available online for a $70-per-course fee.

\”I don\’t think this is a complete substitution for textbooks but an enhancement,\” Ward said. \”Many people think one will replace the other, but I think the two will coexist side by side, like online classes and brick-and-mortar institutions.\”
