Since research shows reading material on paper leads to better learning outcomes than reading electronically, and that hand writing notes is better for you academically than typing, I encourage you to buy the print version of the textbook. However, if you're unable to and are using an electronic version of the textbook, here is some advice:
- Print the more difficult selections so you can underline key information and annotate the margins.
- Take notes in your notebook by hand as you read the textbook online. Handwriting engages different areas of your brain and cognitive science research shows that this improves your learning.
- Use an online annotation tool so you can annotate the margins, such as Diigo, Hypothes.is, Scrible, Adobe Reader, or others you can find online.
