In a 2011 segment on CNN "Headline News," Doug Levin, CEO of the State Educational Technology Director's Association, asserted that the shift to Common Core State Standards, the prevalence of open content, and the rapid increase in the availability of mobile technology will soon make paper textbooks a thing of the past in U.S. schools. He predicts that within the next 10 years, school districts will be providing most textbooks and core instructional materials in electronic formats on mobile devices. If Levin's predictions are correct, the shift from print to digital text has the potential to offer greater access to information for a wide range of students who are unable to use traditional printed instructional materials effectively. There is, however, a danger with a shift from one format to another. If the haste to produce marketable digital materials results in little or no attention to broad usability, it is possible that the move to digital materials will create new barriers to access, participation, and achievement for these students. In this article, the authors point out that instructional materials should be universally designed to be flexible, accessible, and usable for students with and without disabilities.
