Changing the way we Learn

I remember slugging around a heavy backpack full of textbooks that in some cases were outdated the moment I bought them. Big, heavy, and expensive, I was glad to get rid of them. Now a revolution has happened. Not just for textbooks but a change that drastically improves the way we learn and the way [...]
