John Harwood will moderate a panel of representatives from Barnes and Noble, Cengage Learning, McGraw-Hill, and Pearson. The panel will discuss the innovative work that their companies have been doing related to trends and technologies that are shaping the educational environment at Penn State. Examples include electronic textbooks, e-readers and mobile devices, course management system integration, online supplemental materials, student response systems, and more. Later in the afternoon, the publishers will provide an opportunity to see some of these technologies first-hand in a demonstration room.
