International Trend of Digital Textbooks

• Korea: KERIS started in 2008, to finish nationwide installation in 2013

• Singapore: FutureSchool@Singapore from 2008

• Europe: CEN eTernity Project from 2012

• US: EDUCAUSE to lead nationwide project in 2013

• Japan

– Computerization Vision of Education: 2011 – Future School Project (MIC)

Problems

• Many stakeholders

– Ministry, Local school boards, Teachers, Learners, Publishers, Editors, Service providers ...

• Many pedagogical options

– Lecture (traditional), Active learning support (individual/collaborative/survey/presentation), Learner adaptation, Digital native learner

support ...

• Few consensus among stakeholders

(4)

Proposal

• Clarify common functions required to

Digital Textbooks

– 2012 version: 52 items, slide #5

– 2013 version: 71 items, Mindmap (Appendix)

• Verify implementation of these functions

with ePub3 (HTML5, JavaScript)

– De Jure standard, good to reduce TOC – Some functions beyond ePub3 spec

– Needs consensus among various stakeholders

• Verification

– Even iBooks3 gets 55% of full points

– Should allow conventional standard spec

• e.g. ADL SCORM, Tin-Can API

• Contribution

– To publish open source JavaScript library to provide proposed functions
