By Megan (Weyrauch) Johnson on October 5, 2015

Sign up now for a panel discussion on student media about the future of college education.

Association of American Publishers (AAP) will host two free media webinars exclusively for student reporters, according to a recent press release:

California webinar: Tuesday, October 6 at 3 p.m. PT
Texas webinar: Wednesday, October 7 at 3 p.m. CT

Find out answers to questions such as: Is digital learning the future of higher education? Are textbooks going the way of the dinosaur? What is digital learning? How does it work?

Digital learning platforms have evolved from beyond the simple .pdfs of traditional textbooks that were common just five years ago. Learn what makes them different as well as how they improve student grades and cost less than traditional textbooks.

Why do faculty assign digital learning platforms and how are students benefitting? These questions and more will be answered during the two webinars.

There will be opportunity for Q & A for student reporters. The panels will include the following:

Faculty from California, including:
• Dr. Philip Janowicz, Chemistry professor at Cal State Fullerton
• Lynda Haas, Composition professor at UC Irvine
• Patty Worsham, Math professor at Norco College
• Solina Lindahl, Economics professor at California Polytechnic

Faculty and students from Texas, including:
