Concurrent 4A: What’s New in Digital Textbooks?
With more education happening online, in both university and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), more schools are experimenting with digital textbooks, accessed either online or by mobile apps. Digital textbooks do more than just save the backs of students. They can help identify what students do and do not understand. They can alert instructors about areas where the class may be falling behind. They can help publishers create better digital textbooks. Learn how publishers are moving beyond the PDF to create complex learning environments. Learn what you can do to ensure that your content fits the bill–in terms of format, functionality, and accessibility requirements.
