Why This Is Important
Knowing the difference between eBooks and courseware helps you choose the right materials for your course, and affects what your students pay.
eBooks are flexible and affordable, but you build your own assignments. Courseware includes built-in assignments and automatic grading at a higher cost. Knowing what each includes helps you make the right call for your course and your students.
