The creation of an innovative self-learning environment to digitalise publishers' educational content.ClosedGRD Development of PrototypeInnovate UKDigital textbooks are not being widely adopted in comparison to standard e-books. Students want more than a print textbook simply transferred to a digital format. The modern student learns from a variety of sources and has a very disconnected experience. In building our educational network, we have worked with our 30,000 student members, with our publisher partners and with our own authors to understand the needs, desires and concerns of all parties. We believe that self-directed learning is the key to unlocking the digital revolution in education. We can empower students to leverage the resources and technologies they already use in their normal lives in an educational setting. Our system will allow students to build their own learning space – taking sections from publishers’ content, mixing it in with YouTube videos, Wikipedia notes, their lecturers notes’ and more. They will be able to discuss their notes with their peers, and share them with each other. Students will take pride in their work and find ways to learn that meets their needs. This will be a highly innovative step-change in education.
