'''Advantages'''
==Advantages==
'''Workbooks''' are often used in schools for younger students, either in middle school or elementary school. They are favored because students can work directly in their [[books]], eliminating the need for looseleaf and copying questions from a textbook. In industry, they may be customized interactive manuals which are used to help provide [[structure]] to an otherwise [[complex]] problem.
Workbooks also hold an advantage because they are usually smaller and lighter than textbooks, which equates to less trouble when the student brings the book home to complete their homework.

==Other Uses==
The term workbook is also used to describe other questions that require the [[reader]] to complete scratch-work when dealing with higher-level [[mathematics]]. It can also be used as a [[training]] tool for certain job positions.
More recently, electronic workbooks have permitted interactive and customized [[learning]]. Such workbooks may be used on computers, laptops, PDA's, and may be web-based.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workbook]
