Pandorcampus  leve  2:  interac&vity  

•  Par&ally  founded  by  a  regional  program  •  Parthership  with  university  of  Bologna  •  Mostly  developed  by  our  teams  and  operated  by  our  digital  copyeditors  

•  First,  study  of  ini&a&ves/projects  in  a  worldwide  context  (pondering  on  local  constraints)  >>  R&D  

How  we  have  worked  /  1  

•  One  year  spent  on  experimen&ng  (produc&on  as  well)  

•  Focus  groups  with  authors,  students,  professors,  universi&es,  domain  experts  

•  Feedback  from  both  authors,  and  publishers  •  Tests  in  actual  courses  •  Pilot  start  on  2013-­‐14  AY,  on  the  market  2014-­‐15  AY  

How  we  have  worked  /  2  

The landscape

PRINTED  

SERVICES  ON  PRINTED    •  Personaliza&on  (Pod  etc)  

ETEXT  (simple)  •  Digi&za&on  as  alterna&ve  (for  channel,  price,  etc)  

ETEXT  (advanced)  •  Digi&za&on  as  interac&on  

•  Portability,  interoperability  

•  Standard  •  Disability  

SERVICES  and  RESOURCES  with  ETEXT  •  Exercize,  assignment,  assesment  

•  Collabora&on,  labs  •  Text  as  commodity  

RESORCES  FOR  COURSES  •  No  book,  repositories  of  learning  obj  or  courses  

•  Self-­‐produc&on,  OpenContent  

MOOCS  •  No  book,  video  courses  

PLATFORMS  WITH  NO  CONTENT  •  For  universi&es  ad  publishers  

•   No  EU  players,  no  publishers  among  actors  •   The  winner  takes  all:  as  in  academic  sector  >>  reduc&on  of  cultural  diversity  and  loss  of  cultural  heritage  •   Traspone,  not  translate  and  wihtout  crea&vity  •   More  possibili&es,  no  use  >>  delusion  and  frustra&on  =  delay  in  diffusion  •   Few  techology  >>  poor  products,  not  standard,  expensive  in  industrial  perspec&ve  •   Too  technology  >>  but  poor  content,  and  poor  behaviour  

The  risks  for  higher  edu  (without  EU  support)  

Key  points  &  needs  •  Semplicity:  an  european  project  is  too  complex  to  afford  

•  Shorter  &  Smaller:  in  &me  and  financial  needs  

•  Good  mix:  publishing  &  technology  together  

•  Not  only  research,  also  industry  •  Not  too  far,  not  to  close:  publishing  for  the  next  decade,  not  millennium
