M&W Using eReaders

Each main selection in the student edition is also available as an eReader selection. These have web-based text, with a single scroll view, highlighting abilities, and social annotations (the ability for students to make notes, and comment on other readers’ notes as well). You can view and assign these selections to students in Online Learning Environment.
