Choosing E-Text Formats: Ensuring Accessibility, Usability, and Independence

Selecting the right e-text format is crucial for facilitating access to information. Consider factors such as the production source—whether student-produced or professionally produced—and how layout elements like columns, tables, and graphics affect usability. Accessibility is paramount; assess the end-user’s needs, print impairments, and the resources available for production. Additionally, evaluate how these texts align with learning styles and course loads to ensure a successful educational experience. Opt for formats that foster independence and efficiency for diverse learners.
