Flera av de svenska skolreformerna de senaste decennierna riskerar att ha gjort mer skada än nytta. Det visar bred internationell forskning. Bland annat använder många skolor läxor på ett felaktigt sätt.

Interesting alternative to iBooks and others.  The free version gets you 50MB of storage (not a lot, actually).  You CAN pay for the premium, but that's $40.00 per year.

academiPad's curator insight, April 9, 12:07 PM

I have written about the new wave of DIY textbooks before (Inkling and Habitat: http://www.joachim-scholz.com/academipad/2012/02/15/the-transformation-of-the-textbook-industry-continues-with-habitat/), and this app / platform is another step into creating course-customized textbooks.

What is great about ActiveTextbook is that it works across different platforms. Students are also able to highlight and annotate in the book, which can be shared in order to facilitate social learning.

Ten tips to build interactivity

Ten tips to build interactivity | Skolbiblioteket och lärande | Scoop.it
Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, April 2, 1:58 AM

When developing online learning materials, it’s important to define the content that needs to be learned; determine what the learner must do as a result of completing these learning materials, and so decide on the most appropriate ‘treatment’ for the content.Users must interact with online learning materials to navigate through the materials; amass information and make decisions.

Considering what the learner needs to know or do – rather than what the teacher wants to teach –involves you in‘interactivity’. So here are ten things to bear in mind about interactivity when you’re developing online learning materials:
