| Summary: | The article reports that schools publishers' drives towards electronic resources are likely to be accelerated after publication of the British government's long-awaited e-learning strategy. The report outlines future use of digital materials in English classrooms --but makes no mention of books, prompting fears that e-learning will threaten publishers' traditional markets. Greater use of digital materials will hit academic booksellers and suppliers too. But the e-learning strategy also promises closer consultation with providers of learning materials. It pledges to improve the Curriculum Online portal, which was launched to provide teachers with a shop window on publishers' digital resources. |
