Daniel and Woody (2013) recently investigated students’ use andperformance on a variety of print and electronic formats in both laboratory and at homeconditions. They randomly assigned students to use a chapter of an introductory psychologytextbook in one of five formats: print textbook, printed text pages, printed manuscript inMicrosoft Word, electronic pdf, or electronic textbook.

The laboratory was a co-requisite for ME students in the Staticscourse, but, it was optional for other majors.
