School learning during the Net era. A model for sustainable and effective production of digital textbooks

Abstract

Debate within the school of the future is currently focusing on the nature
of e-books. The model examples here presented include both an example
of a digital book (c-book) and a method for the designing of one. The model
item is based on a collaborative construction of the learning resources
and their shared use. It stems from the interaction between a learning community
consisting of a number of networked schools on the one side, and
a number of teachers who are actively experimenting new teaching methods
on the other.
The production and the fruition of c-books are seen only as a means towards
improvement in the teaching practice, without effacing good tradition,
in the view of fostering greater awareness in individual learners.
