publishing and education service on the open web platform
DESCRIPTION
How long did you think digitalized textbook? This slide introduced Korean people's efforts from 2007 to the date in terms of technology and standardization perspectives. From 2011 KERIS investigated the possibility of EPUB3 for base format of digital textbook and it is realized around end of 2012. After this trial they have been giving efforts to converge learning technology such as assessment and learning tools with digital textbook using IMS Global's specifications. This slide pertain to several web links for EDUPUB workshop outcome as well as Korean digital textbook demo video. Note: this slide was presented at the WWW Conference 2014.TRANSCRIPT

Memory of digitalized textbook
In 2007 people thought modeling of the digital textbook.
<source: example of digital textbook, KERIS (2007)>
• Standard communities could capture potential items from user expectation.
Trials for digitalized textbook
2007 2013 2010
Functional modeling in application
Mobile and multi-screen on the cloud platform
Note: this perspective is not official opinion of Korean government and KERIS, but speaker’s personal division to give implication on the digital textbook in Korea.
Downsizing and met with eBook technology

First challenge in 2011
What are the requirements for digital textbook?
Reference Materials
Learning Management
Assessment
Dictionary
Textbook (as a
content)
Interaction (pertaining
to annotation)
Web resource/
link)
Multimedia (AR, VR,
Audio/Video, etc.)
Note: people thought that digital textbook could be connected to resources and learning activities from 2007.

First challenge in 2011
Note: See the proposal on the Web link of Standards research on convergence - learning and digital
publishing technologies for digital textbook;
Therefore, researchers of KERIS
suggested digital textbook as a convergence item;
• Digital publishing technology: EPUB3
• Learning technologies: learning software, assessment and online courseware management, etc.

First challenge in 2011
How to achieve advanced convergence model for the digital textbook?
First challenge in 2011
We thought about basic questions:
• Textbook and resources must be lightweight
• To avoid locking on device have to use open standards
• But how many standards are needed and how to mix?
First challenge in 2011
Idea #1.
• For base format of digital textbook adopt eBook technology such as EPUB3
Note: EPUB3 is core profile of web standards; HTML5, CSS, Javascript, etc.
• Main reason was while improve presentation of content lightweight and independent from device.
First challenge in 2011
Idea #2.
• On the eBook format use learning technologies such as assessment, learning software and web resources
Note: IMS Global has developed almost these required specifications at that time.
• In other words this approach looked like convergence between EPUB3 and IMS’s learning specifications i.e. Question & Test Interoperability and Learning Tools Interoperability.
First challenge in 2011
Idea #3.
• Same context but different delivery to user
i.e. EPUB for mobile devices and Common Cartridge for web browser
• Different packaging format can be automatically converted in terms of one source multi use (OSMU).
Two years later …
Won the Platinum Awards at IMS Learning Impact Awards;
• Adoption of EPUB3 to the Digital Textbook
• With Potential possibility to converge learning technologies; learning software, assessment and online courseware, etc.
Note: this digital textbook model is early stage of pilot project for EDUPUB.

• a comprehensive model for the interchange and deployment of educational content
• based on the W3C Open Web Platform
• and expressed as an integrated set of specifications including EPUB 3 (IDPF), LTI, QTI (IMS), LRMI and other emerging standards

Current Digital Textbook will be
also adopted open annotation and SMIL of W3C rather EPUB3 specification to support user requirements
Note: coming Open Annotation in EPUB specification will fully support current annotation types of Digital
Textbook in Korea.
