J-Georg writes: In Estonian Tallinn University of Technology all the electronic devices like notebooks, tablets and smartphones are now banned in lectures held by institute of public administration. The restriction, which according to the institute aims to reduce factors interfering with academic work, came as a surprise to most of the university-goers. Moreover — just a day before country's Ministry of Education announced a plan that by 2020 all textbooks and other literature would be turned into e-books and in eight years students are expected to start using computers and tablets to access study materials.
