Can Digital Textbooks Truly Replace the Print Kind?
A)



The shortcomings of traditional print edition textbooks are obvious: For starters they're heavy, with the average physics
textbook
weighing
3.6
pounds.
They're
also
expensive,
especially
when
you
factor
in
the
average
college
student's
limited
budget, typically costing hundreds of dollars every semester. But the worst part is that print versions of textbooks are constantly
undergoing
revisions.
Many
professors
require
that
their
students
use
only
the
latest
versions
in
the
classroom,
essentially
rendering older texts unusable. For students, it means they're basically stuck with a four pound paperweight that they can't sell
back.
B)



Which is why digital textbooks, if they live up to their promise, could help ease many of these shortcomings. But till
now,
they've
been
something
like
a
mirage(
幻影
)in
the
distance,
more
like
a
hazy
(
模糊的
)
dream
than
an
actual
reality.
Imagine the promise: Carrying all your textbooks in a 1.3 pound iPad? It sounds almost too good to be true. But there are a few
pilot
schools
already
making
the
transition(
过渡
)
over
to
digital
books.
Universities
like
Cornell
and
Brown
have
jumped
onboard. And one medical program at the University of California, Irvine, gave their entire class iPads with which to download
textbooks just last year.
C)



But not all were eager to jump aboard.

communication because they couldn't read or write in it. So a third of the people in my program were using the iPad in class to
take notes, the other third were using laptops and the last third were using paper and pencil.
”
The reason it hasn't caught on
yet .he tells me, is that the functionality of e-edition textbooks is incredibly limited, and some students just aren't motivated to
learn new study behavior.
D)



But a new application called Inkling might change all that. The company just released an updated version last week, and
it'll be utilized in over 50 undergraduate and graduate classrooms this coming school year.
“
Digital textbooks are not going to
catch on,
”
says Inkling CEO Matt MacInnis as he's giving me a demo(
演示
)over coffee.
“
What I mean by that is the current
perspective of the digital textbook is it's an exact copy of the print book. There's Course Smart, etc.
，
these guys who take an
image of the page and put it on a screen. If that's how we're defining digital textbooks, there's no of that becoming a mainstream
product
”

E)



He calls Inkling a platform for publishers to build rich multimedia content from the ground up, with a heavy emphasis
on
real-world
functionality.
The
traditional
textbook
merely
serves
as
a
skeleton.
At
first
glance
Inkling
is
an
impressive
experience. After swiping(
触击
)into the iPad app(
应用软件
)
，
which you can get for free here, he opens up a few different types
of textbooks.
F)

artwork,
videos,” he
says,
”

Next he pulls a
music composition textbook, complete with playable demos. It's a learning experience that attacks you from multiple sensory
directions. It's clear why this would be something a music major would love.
G)



But the most exciting part about Inkling, to me, is its notation(
批注
)system. Here's how it works: When you purchase a
used
print
book,
it
comes
with
its
previous
owner's
highlights
and
notes
in
the
margins.
It
uses
the
reading
(how
much
experience you trust of someone who already went through the class to help improve your each notation is obviously up to you).
But
with
Inkling,
you
can
highlight
a
piece
of
content
and
make
notes.
Here's
where
things
get
interesting,

though:
If
a
particularly important passage is highlighted by multiple Inkling users, that information is stored on the cloud and is available
for anyone reading the same textbook to come across. That means users have access to notes from not only their classmates and
Face-book friends, but anyone who purchased the book across the country. The best comments are then sorted democratically
by a voting system, that your social learning experience is shared with the best and brightest thinkers.

As a can even chime
in(
插话
)on discussions. They'll be able to answer the questions of students who are in their class directly via the interactive
book.
