e-textbook

Participants in this MOOC will have the exciting opportunity to benefit from using a unique interactive printed e-textbook developed by HP Labs in cooperation with the MOOC leaders. This unique book is yours to keep, and it will incorporate resources available in the MOOC and enable participants to personalize the content with their notes and selected audio/video and print materials.

All MOOC participants will have access to the digital form of the e-text; however, many students prefer to use a combination of digital and print formats. The print format is available at a reduced cost subsidized by HP, and it will be mailed to participants who complete a short shipping form at this link . The first 100 participants who sign up for this experience will get the interactive printed book for free and pay only for shipping costs.

For those who do not live in the shipping area or those who want DIY printing, please follow these instructions:

DIY PRINTING: A simple way is to login into METIS, open the book, and click on the Print button in METIS. You will be able to get an electronic version of the book.
