The Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies Program funds efforts that support envisioning the future of learning technologies and advance what we know about how people learn in technology-rich environments. In this Cyberlearning EAGER project, the team is exploring the idea of the post-digital textbook. They envision the post-digital textbook being used in many of the same ways textbooks are used now and, in addition, providing a platform for collaboration, curation, and personalization.The imagined post-digital textbook will go beyond digitizing print books and adding animations and simulations where there were once pictures and may be radically different than today's textbooks. The term "textbook" is used, however, to connote that this new genre of technology will assume the persistent, powerful role textbooks currently play. Several theoretical perspectives (cognitive, constructivist, and socio-cultural) are being leveraged to develop foundations for what the post-digital textbook might be. The team is combining such theory with a study of existing educational technologies and pedagogical practices to develop an understanding of the possibilities and then refining those ideas using design charrettes. The investigation centers on two core behaviors that they want the post-digital textbook to address: facilitating knowledge curation and serving as a collaborative resource. The team is iterating on an initial set of goals, affordances, and behaviors to create an initial design spec for this new genre using four activities: synthesis of the literature, user-centered design, participatory design, and expert consultation. This work will serve as the foundation for a follow-up project to explore the design space of the post-digital textbook within the formal learning environments for which it is being designed.

网络学习和未来学习技术计划为支持设想学习技术的未来并推进我们对人们如何在技术丰富的环境中学习的了解的努力提供资金。在这个Cyberlearning EAGER项目中，该团队正在探索后数字教科书的想法。他们设想后数字教科书的使用方式与现在的教科书相同，此外，还提供了一个协作、策展和个性化的平台。想象中的后数字教科书将超越印刷书籍的数字化，并在曾经有图片的地方添加动画和模拟，可能与今天的教科书截然不同。然而，“教科书”一词被用来暗示这种新的技术类型将承担教科书目前所扮演的持久而强大的角色。一些理论观点（认知，建构主义和社会文化）正在被利用来为后数字教科书的可能性奠定基础。该团队正在将这种理论与现有教育技术和教学实践的研究相结合，以了解各种可能性，然后使用设计charrettes来完善这些想法。调查集中在他们希望后数字教科书解决的两个核心行为：促进知识策展和作为协作资源。该团队正在迭代一组初始目标，启示和行为，以使用四个活动为这种新类型创建初始设计规范：文献综合，以用户为中心的设计，参与式设计和专家咨询。这项工作将作为后续项目的基础，探索后数字教科书的设计空间内的正式学习环境，它正在设计。
