Teaching French Literature Without a Book Conclusion The use of readings online means confronting students with texts w/o aids (glossary, notes, introductions to author, work, historical background, in short any ancillary or critical apparatus). However, linking such aids as are deemed truly useful to the same site in which the readings are found outweighs that lack. Links to voice and image may even enhance the reading experience.
