Collaborative Research: Integrating the eTextbook: Truly Interactive Textbooks for Computer Science Education

该项目的目标是开发一个故事板，为整个交互式电子教科书定义详细的路线图，包括数据结构和算法，开发过程的端到端框架以及几个完整的原型部分。该项目通过展示如何将文本、交互性和评估整合到一个创造性的共享环境中来改进未来电子教科书的开发。在线教科书内容、交互式课件、协作创建、开源和在线评估的集成使学生、教师、内容作者和算法可视化开发人员受益。交互式超级教科书的价值超出了计算机科学，因为许多领域的在线教学可以通过学生与精心设计的模拟的交互来增强。该项目提供了一个范例，说明如何使用协作、开源的工作流程为许多学科开发超级教科书。其目标是允许教师修改现有的电子教科书，通过采用主要部分，然后改变部分，或采取文本和可视化从不同的书籍和组合它们。

The objective of this project is to develop a storyboard defining a detailed roadmap for an entire interactive eTextbook on data structures and algorithms, an end-to-end framework for the development process, and several complete prototype sections. The project improves the development of future eTextbooks by demonstrating ways to integrate text, interactivity, and assessment in a creative commons environment. The integration of online textbook content, interactive courseware, collaborative creation, open source, and online assessment benefits students, instructors, content authors, and algorithm visualization developers.Interactive hypertextbooks are valuable beyond Computer Science since online instruction in many fields can be enhanced by student interaction with well-designed simulations. The project provides an exemplar of how collaborative, open-sourced workflows could be used to develop hypertextbooks for many disciplines. The goal is to allow instructors to modify existing eTextbooks by adopting major portions and then changing sections, or taking text and visualizations from different books and combining them.
