Institutions are faced with many options for dealing with e-textbooks. University of Wisconsin–Madison has participated in e-textbook pilots for two semesters and has developed a set of institutional principles related to text availability, accessibility, costs, delivery, and student learning to drive future e-textbook decisions. Facing those same decisions, staff at the University of Illinois developed their own browser-based HTML5 e-textbook implementation called eText@Illinois. They built their system to be device-agnostic, ADA Section 508–compliant, and with class-roster-based communication links between students and instructors. Representatives from each institution will share their experiences and model an evaluation of eText@Illinois based on UW–Madison's criteria.
