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.

2. Memory of digitalized textbook
In 2007 people thought modeling of the digital textbook.

• Standard communities could capture potential items from
user expectation.

6. 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.

10. First challenge in 2011
How to achieve advanced
convergence model for
the digital textbook?
11. 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?
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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).
15. 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.

21. Current Digital Textbook was
motivation of EDUPUB project from 2011
And EDUPUB came in 2013
as Global Alliance initiated by IDPF, IMS Global and W3C
• 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

24. 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.
