Built around the lesson

Built for how your science publishing actually works

Not a feature list. A look at how science publishing teams use the platform day to day.

01 / DISCOVERY

Tappable Diagrams and Explorable Illustrations

Turn flat illustrations into explorable lessons.

How it works

Publishers layer interactive markup onto science illustrations hotspots on a plant cell cross-section, labeled regions on a circuit diagram, annotated anatomy visuals. Students tap to explore, not just look at a flat image. A plate tectonics diagram becomes a navigable visual. A human anatomy illustration becomes something students can interrogate.

Cell biologyCircuitsHuman anatomyPlate tectonics
Inline Video Demonstrations Inside the LessonWatch demonstrations without leaving the lesson.+

Publishers embed instructional video directly inside the content not as an external link. A chapter on the circulatory system includes the animation right after the explanation. A chemistry lesson shows the reaction in motion, then moves into the concept check. Students stay in the book. The demonstration happens in context. No external tabs, no broken YouTube links.

Scientific Vocabulary and Language SupportUnderstand unfamiliar terms in context.+

Pre-built glossary markers definitions appear inline when students tap a term like "exothermic" or "tectonic subduction," without leaving the page. Highlight any word to translate or define on the spot. Multilingual content delivery for diverse classrooms. Students who get stuck on vocabulary leave the text. KITABOO keeps them in it definitions, translations, and context available without a second browser tab.

Accessibility That Passes Adoption ReviewsSupport accessible reading and navigation.+

TTS built in essential for science vocabulary and impaired readers. Immersive reading modes with font, spacing, and contrast controls. WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliant structure. JAWS/NVDA support, keyboard navigation, and read-aloud features out of the box. If your platform is not accessible, you lose the adoption. KITABOO delivers WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 compliance as a baseline.

Analytics That Show What Science Students Actually DoSee where learners engage and struggle.+

Usage analytics across science-specific interactions time on task, diagram engagement, video completion, quiz performance, lab prep completion rates. The difference between knowing your content is delivered and knowing it is being used. KITABOO handled a 40x traffic surge during peak global eBook demand without service interruption. 35M+ API calls handled daily.

Lab Readiness Built Into the Program

Digital lab preparation ensures students arrive ready reducing errors, improving safety, and maximizing hands-on time. Pre-lab activities, safety guidelines, and experiment procedures are embedded and assignable. Teachers track completion before students enter the lab. Publishers deliver standardized lab prep content and embed safety guidelines in every lab. Districts get consistent preparation across every classroom

Speed up science content production

K.AI sits inside your authoring workflow and helps editorial teams generate supplementary science content — summaries, questions, flashcards — directly from your existing material. Review, refine, publish.

  • Question types aligned to scientific concepts and lab outcomes, at a set grade level and difficulty
  • Chapter summaries and learning objectives for teacher guides and adoption bid documents
  • Key terms, formulas and concepts extracted into flashcards inside the reader
  • Drafts for human review — K.AI does not grade students or replace editorial judgement

Ready for evaluation

When evaluation windows open, you need to be ready.

Publishers need infrastructure that is proven and deployable not a science program prototype assembled under deadline pressure.

From manuscript to a live, interactive science program — diagrams, video and lab prep the same on every platform an institution runs.

Faster Digital Readiness

Go from manuscript to interactive digital science program in weeks, not months. Tappable diagrams, embedded video, lab prep content, and glossary tools ready before the submission window closes.

Questions from K–12 publishers

What are the core features of the KITABOO platform that make a textbook interactive?
The platform provides multiple enrichment options (20+ widgets) such as audio, video, images, web links, glossary, vocabulary, text-to-speech, read aloud, and various assessments (MCQ, true/false, fill-in-the-blanks, match the pairs). Users can also personalize content through annotations, highlighting, and scribbling with a pen
Does the reader interface change for teacher and student logins?
In terms of consumption and viewing features, the experience is largely the same for both roles. However, the teacher role has additional options, such as the ability to grade assessments and access holistic analytics reports.
Where does the assessment data go after a student completes a quiz?
The student receives their score (if automatically graded). The data then goes to the instructor, who can review and grade written answers. Teachers can view performance reports for individual students and see rolled-up assessment values for the entire class.
What kind of statistics or analytics reports are available?
The platform provides granular analytics, allowing publishers to view activated users, content licenses distributed/used, top 10 active customers, most popular titles, content coverage, user interaction (notes, highlights, bookmarks), usage by device (desktop/tablet/mobile), and usage by geography.
What content formats are supported for conversion into eBooks?
KITABOO Studio supports content creation from multiple formats including PPT, PDF, Word Docs, EPUBs, HTML, and SCORM-based content. InDesign files are also mentioned as a source format.
What is the difference between fixed layout and reflowable content?
Fixed layout EPUBs are more static; they maintain their appearance and structure even if the screen is resized. Reflowable EPUBs resize and are responsive to the screen, supporting features like adjustable fonts, alignment, and reading modes.
