These immediate outcomes allow students to see their mistakes in real time and aid in their ability to remember the correct response for a longer period of time. By evaluating their own comprehension of a subject or chapter, students can better plan their lessons and learning strategies.

Low Price of Digital Textbooks to Drive the Market

The low price of digital textbooks over hard copies are a major market driver.

Thus, the convenience of people using digital textbooks increases, which is a major driving factor of the digital educational publishing market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Limitation of New Content in Digital Textbooks to Restrain the Market

There is less demand for new authors as a result of publishers shifting their focus to provide digital textbooks rather than printed ones. Publishers are refocusing their resources to convert popular textbooks from well-known authors to a digital format. The number of contracts between publishers and new authors to produce new content has decreased as a result of this shift in emphasis. Due to the lack of new textbook options, many educators are publishing independently and developing their own open educational resources (OER). OERs are seen as one solution, but as their availability and scope have dramatically expanded, concerns about their quality have started to surface.
