Reading Struggles of Online Course

E-Learning’s Reading Struggles

As a college student, the textbook fee is always a big burden to bear. So many of my friends and classmates (including myself) choose to buy the online version of the required textbook, which is a much cheaper option when compare to the paper one. Even though I can read this textbook through any of my electronic device anywhere at any time, and that seems really convenience, but one thing I found that truly bothers me is that I can’t take notes or write something on the online textbook. From time to time, whenever I need to write something like my own understanding of that certain paragraph of the online textbook, the only thing I can do is to write it down on a notebook with a sentence that explain what page/paragraph of what textbook this is for. And that did waste a lot of time on scrolling back and forth when I do my reviewing section. Besides that, another problem, or difficulty, I came across is the interruptions and distractions when reading online: E-mails, friends’ messages, update News, etc. These things just easily got my attention and resulted in a 10 to 15 minutes waste of time.
