Which Is Better For Online Classes?

I enjoy the memories of walking to class in the 40°C Australian sun, with heavy textbooks in my bag. It's all part of the college experience. I have also experimented with a tablet. T are convenient, easy to read, easy to carry, and you cant lose your digital text! But even with all the convenience of a tablet, I still used textbooks and print materials for studying. I'll explain why I still prefer textbooks, then we can look at what science says, and conclude with a final perspective. Why I use textbooks to study.

when learning something, it may be in your best interests to digest the information from multiple media forms. For example, if you want to recall the dates of certain events, a computer screen may help you better remember them when studying. However, if you want to recall why such an event occurred or where, paper may be your best bet. Having said all of the above
 The act of studying is more important than the choice between the tablet and the textbook. If you prefer learning with a textbook, go for it! If you prefer learning with a tablet, go for it! But please don’t go with a tablet just because you don’t want to carry textbooks. The Reformed Student
