• W2050683742 abstract "Abstract Technology for teaching has changed dramatically over the years from pen and paper to typed pages to the latest technology, electronic print. This paper investigates the potential for their use in the University environment. Part of this problem is the determination of what is available, where to find it and what method to display it for the student to use. A final item of this list is cost for the application and hardware. Is it comparable to hard copy paper books? Electronic books have been in the market for several years but their usability in the classroom has been limited. Books must be downloaded to some type of device for the student to access. Until the reduction in hardware cost the primary application or delivery device was the desktop computer. With the reduction in cost of laptops this becomes more usable and with the new electronic readers this becomes even more viable. Now the cost of the reader is comparable to the savings in using electronic books. This work will investigate the viability of electronic books for Petroleum Engineering. We will include an analysis of what is available, the functionality of the readers as well as an analysis of the cost of the application. A sidebar to this task is the ability for the engineer to carry his/her library with them into the field. Something unheard of ten years ago. An engineer on a project will not have to go back to the office to find a reference for their project, it will either be on his laptop or on an electronic reader. Analysis of this topic would not be complete without discussion of media format. Will a format used today be available in ten years? Will a book bought today be useable on hardware yet to be created? These are questions that will be addressed in this paper. The primary conclusion of this paper is that electronic books are a viable method but proper care must be used to determine the optimum solution. The cost of replacement in the event of an incorrect selection could be disastrous. Introduction Mankind has been recording facts, events and directions since the beginning. The format and methods have progressed from paint on the walls of caves, to papyrus, to handmade manuscripts, to mass-produced books and now is progressing to the paperless environment. The primary benefits to the engineer are portability—the ability to have reference materials in any location—and density—the ability to store a large number of references on a small device Electronic reference materials have been available for use on desktop PCs for almost as long as there have been desktop PCs. Early desktops had limited hard drive space, so reference materials were often distributed as CD-ROMs, but as computers and storage have become less expensive and more portable, today it is possible to have large reference collections stored locally on desktops, laptops, PDAs, cell phones, portable hard drives, memory sticks—or dedicated e-book readers." @default.
