2. Back to 2011
Suggested Digital Textbook as a convergence item;
• Digital publishing technology; EPUB3
• Learning technologies; learning software,
assessment and online courseware, etc
See the proposal on the Web link of ‘Standards research on convergence learning and digital publishing technologies for digital textbook’ ;

3. Key points of proposal in 2011

4. And, in the IMS LIA 2013
Won the Platinum Awards as a best practice;
• Adoption of EPUB3 to the Digital Textbook
• With Potential possibility to converge learning
technologies; learning software, assessment and
online courseware, etc

8. Memory of Standardization Efforts
SMART on ICT Open Forum 2011 - 2012
See the Web link for this events; http://smart-on-ict.net/main/main.php
• First meeting with IMS Global and IDPF via KERIS
• Started efforts to converge both domain technologies
• KERIS has MOU with IMS Global from 2007
• KERIS has MOU with IDPF from 2011
• Now IMS Korea and Open Digital Publishing Forum are
representing regional standardization forum
• Some of IMS specifications were adopted from 2008 and
EPUB3 was adopted in 2012 as National Standards

9. Memory of Standardization Efforts
International Standardization Efforts
• Started Ad-hoc Group under ISO/IEC JTC1 SC34
with IEC TC100, ISO TC46 and IDPF since 2010
• Now JWG for EPUB established under JTC1/SC34 with
above stakeholders (in 2013)
• This JWG will maintain ISO/IEC EPUB3 standards based
on collaboration with IDPF
• EPUB3 is under progression of Draft Technical
Specification of ISO/IEC (as ISO/IEC 30135 series)

10. Memory of Standardization Efforts
International Standardization Efforts
• Where is the learning technologies?
• ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36 (Information Technology for
Learning, Education and Training)
• JTC1/SC36 has liaison relationship with IMS Global and
published Access For All (ISO/IEC 24751) and Content
Packaging (ISO/IEC 12785)
• JTC1/SC36 is developing e-Textbook project (ISO/IEC
18120) as Technical Report and will evolve further
• JTC1 SC34 and SC36 have liaison relationship since
2011

11. But, Keep in mind
Did you see rosy future on the Digital Textbook?
• Did you think how teachers felt digitalized textbook?
• Did you hear parents’ voice about addiction of their kids?
(we said VDT syndrome couple of years ago, but now…)
• Can you guarantee ROI through the Digital Textbook in
terms of learning outcome?
• Ministry of Education in Korea has tried general policy
pertaining to teacher training with teaching model as well
as cloud based platform service since 2011
* In particular, evaluation for this policy in terms of
effectiveness and side effects is conducted as well

12. But, Keep in mind
