eTextBooks and Assessment

  • eTextBooks, whether they be EPUBs, apps, or web

content, are here to stay as a platform for delivering learning materials

  • Combination of EPUB and the Open Web Platform

moves the eBook beyond static presentations of print book content to rich, interactive learning experiences

  • A key aspect of any learning scenario is the

assessment of the degree of learning that is taking place

  • Traditional end of chapter quizzes will be replaced by

embedded adaptive assessments

  • Interactive tasks will not only measure whether

concepts are mastered, but can also adapt the presentation of materials to facilitate learning

Accessibility

  • The move to interactive content must not compromise or limit

accessibility to students with disabilities

  • Requires support for accessibility at the standards, authoring,

and reading system level

  • Support for accessibility guidelines from W3C, such as WCAG

and UAAG

  • Significant work needed on including math, highly visual

content, such as graphics, and simulations

Connectivity

  • Connectivity between an eTextBook and external

resources

– Test item repositories (transformed to HTML5) – Scoring services – School Information Systems – Sharing student progress with parents or teachers, can enhance the learning experience

Standards

  • Standards outside of W3C and IDPF

– IMS Global Consortium's APIP, AfA, and QTI will have relevance and potential for collaboration – Common Core State Standards promise to become the lingua franca among educators for discussing student achievement
