The goal of the project is to develop reusable frameworks and templates for the development of e-books, mobile and web-based applications for technical education.
Why?
among students surveyed:
51% likely to bring a laptop to class
39% likely to bring a print textbook
most students use some sort of technology to study (laptop, phone, e-reader)
still not buying digital textbooks
... but ...
the traditional college textbook model will likely suffer the same fate as the traditional encyclopedia when it was challenged by Wikipedia
from scroll and stare . . .
to interact and learn
