I really like the synergistic use of textbooks and the web together. The web, especially when it is not an immense, well-organized portal that presents cohesive information, often comes up short on the side of organization. By organization, I mean the interrelatedness of concepts, and the textbook authors' perception of which seemingly unrelated ideas have to do with each other. I'm seeing increasingly a larger number of co-authors in college textbooks and the inclusion of multimedia (CD and/or online multimedia) being used as supplementary materials. These have the advantage of being framed in the intended context and being stable for the useful life of the text (at least until the next edition comes out.)
