The Wall Street Journal reports on eTexbook publisher CourseSmart, which is using this week’s CES conference in Las Vegas to demonstrate its thoughts on how its content could be offered on the much rumored Apple Tablet device.
“However, Coursesmart Executive Vice President Frank Lyman has a very different take on the potential of tablet computers for reading. Tablets could include the ability to look at color graphics and integrate other sources of information such as video and outside links, he said.
“The key is that with multifunction devices, you can do more than just read the textbook. You can interact with the content,” he said. It is all about having your textbooks integrated with other tools and resources that you use for learning.”
CourseSmart developed a preview video demonstrating eTextbook usage on a Apple Tablet computer. The company clearly looked at the software on a MacBook and an iPhone and based its concept on that knowledge. Take a look at the video below:
