         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Concern that the textbook is consumable because of the longevity needed for an adoption<br>2. In order to interact with the texts, students (and teachers) would need to be trained on how to use the website. How helpful is that if the test continues to be a hard copy. It is a different skill set than online testing.<br>3. Realistically my concerns are focused on the longevity of the textbook and the ease of the website. If the website is difficult to use, then it will be difficult to implement. &nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>
