See the proposal on the Web link of ‘Standards research on convergence - learning and digital publishing technologies for digital textbook’ ;

Suggested Digital Textbook as a convergence item;

•  Digital publishing technology; EPUB3 •  Learning technologies; learning software,

assessment and online courseware, etc

Key points of proposal in 2011

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

Memory of Standardization Efforts

http://smart-on-ict.net/main/main.php See the Web link for this events; SMART on ICT Open Forum 2011 - 2012

•  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


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)


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

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

But, Keep in mind <Gartner Hype Cycle, 2012>

Thank You !!!
