I can't possibly see how any student in certain subjects like engineering can do much reading ahead. I listened to the lecture, tried to study notes, did insane amounts of homework which always took hours, worked on projects, and then had to study for quizes and tests. I would've loved to check out a chapter before class, but what little time I had was for sleeping, eating, and a little socializing. Granted there are some people that are way smarter than me or especially if you had an easy program you might have been able to read ahead.
I like the concept of Notebooks a lot, but you have to be careful that students aren't getting slightly flashier presentations that come with confusing installation woes.
