The California Learning Resources Network announced that it has received 20 free digital textbook submissions for California’s Free Digital Textbook Initiative.
They received submissions for all eight eligible subjects.
Eight entries come from the CK-12 Foundation, which creates open source Flexbooks for K-12 education; six entries are from college professors, five of whom have doctorates in their subject areas; and Pearson Education has submitted four textbooks.
The 20 entries include three Biology/Life Sciences and four Calculus textbooks.
CLRN’s science reviews will be conducted over the next few weeks by the Humboldt County Office of Education.
The Kings County Office of Education will review mathematics submissions.
I hope these reviews include content validity, learning efficiency criteria, and identifying which electronic communication formats these digital texts match.
Will these digitized images fit on the screen of a Tablet and other mobile PC? Work with Microsoft XP operating system, Vista, Windows 7? With an iPhone, a Palm?
Can a student with a disability use them?
CLRN will share more about the review process.
Review results are scheduled to be released on August 10th.
