Summary:

Subject: In an increasingly digital world in which pedagogical trends are de-emphasizing rote learning and professors are increasingly turning toward active-learning exercises, scholars are fleeing traditional textbooks.

Unchecked by profit motives or business models, and free from for-profit educational organizations, The American Yawp is by scholars, for scholars.
