What’s the current state of ebooks and audiobooks in schools? Find out in The 2019 K-12 Digital Content Report, cosponsored by ASCD and OverDrive Education. Aggregating 2,000+ responses from K-12 administrators, the report provides a comprehensive view of how educators are using digital content, future plans for implementation, and more.

This is the second in a series of studies cosponsored by ASCD and OverDrive Education investigating educators' use of digital content. The first study, Digital Content Goes to School, was conducted in 2015 and published in 2016.

This 2019 study focuses on current usage habits and future plans, as well as administrators' mindsets as they make their decisions on digital content going forward. The report provides information for digital content providers to meet educators' curriculum, instruction, and literacy needs in the classroom, the media center, and throughout the school.
