Digital textbooks are not being widely adopted in comparison to standard e-books. Studentswant more than a print textbook simply transferred to a digital format. The modern studentlearns from a variety of sources and has a very disconnected experience. In building oureducational network, we have worked with our 30,000 student members, with our publisherpartners and with our own authors to understand the needs, desires and concerns of all parties.We believe that self-directed learning is the key to unlocking the digital revolution ineducation. We can empower students to leverage the resources and technologies they alreadyuse in their normal lives in an educational setting. Our system will allow students to buildtheir own learning space – taking sections from publishers’ content, mixing it in withYouTube videos, Wikipedia notes, their lecturers notes’ and more. They will be able todiscuss their notes with their peers, and share them with each other. Students will take pride intheir work and find ways to learn that meets their needs.This will be a highly innovative step-change in education.
