Technology might have made studying and homework faster and easier, but thanks to CourseSmart, a new digital textbook system that tracks students’ reading progress, teachers will now have a way to see who is skimming and who is skipping chapters in their textbooks.
There is a lot of controversy over the new system, and academics are debating whether or not the software actually caters to students with different learning styles and study habits. Skeptics are also concerned with the creepy aspect of the system, and what degree of intrusiveness CourseSmart imposes upon a student’s studying.
