Question:

Many college and university classes now require students to buy e-textbooks.

Technology allows professors to monitor how much time each student is spending reading the text, which pages are being skipped, what passages are being underlined, and whether a student is not underlining the appropriate passages. Some students find such monitoring excessive and bordering on Big Brother watching. Faculty advocates of the technology argue it offers early warning signs of students who are falling behind and missing key parts of the material.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of monitoring students via how much time and what they are underlining in the e-texts.
