Why Interactivity Is a Must for Every Online K12 Course Today

By Scott Hanson | Blog, Digital Publishing, eBook solution | 0 comment | 28 December, 2022 | 0

Today’s K12 learners are quite different from those even four to five years ago.

Newer generations of learners have become extremely comfortable with technology. They spend a large amount of time everyday online, engaging across a wide range of tasks – social media, blogging, and conversations.

Engagement is an essential element of their daily lives, and this behavior also leads to expectations when it comes to learning. The same direction of consumer behavior is nudging K12 organizations to consider digitizing all content and bringing in a higher degree of interactivity.

This process no longer comprises merely turning physical textbooks into PDFs. Today, K12 organizations are working towards creating interactive eBooks. They do this by taking traditional textbooks and converting them to ePUB; an innovative format that enables higher interactivity with audio, video, and polls amongst other features.

6 Ways to Harness Interactive Learning

Teachers of today are looking for new ways to keep their students engaged.Interactive learning has the capability to completely transform the K12 classroom experience and add more value for learners. 

Let’s take a look at how exactly it helps, and why teachers are keen to take their textbooks and convert them to ePUB.

It Creates Immersive Experiences

Interactive learning has augmented reality capabilities, which can simulate the learning environment and help learners absorb concepts much faster.

For instance, with an immersive experience through ePUB content, students can be transported to the Milky Way galaxy or into an age when dinosaurs walked the earth. 

It Inspires Curiosity in Learners

Creating interactive eBooks can build interconnected learning experiences for students. By embedding links, videos, audio, and infographics, students are encouraged to explore the subject further via relevant online learning resources on interlinked concepts.

It Simplifies Complex Concepts

Every student has some subjects that they are good at and some where they are weaker. Interactive learning uses animations, audio-visual representation, and 3D modeling to bring complex concepts to life. This makes it easy for students to grasp the study material.

It Allows for Interactive Homework

For most students, homework can be a chore but with interactive learning, all that can change.

By using Augmented Reality (AR) printable sheets, which are embedded with virtual elements, all students need to do is point the AR app to the sheet. This action triggers the app to pull out relevant resources that can help students get access to related information.

This not only helps them complete their homework with more accuracy and speed, they might even enjoy doing it!

It Encourages Collaborative Learning

Working in teams with people from different corners of the world is a growing practice in today’s workplace that students need to be exposed to. 

eBooks come with sharing functionalities that enable learners to collaborate via the learning journey itself, be it through sharing notes, comments, queries and so on.

The K12 learning solutions of todaymust include well-designed eBooks that nudge both teachers and students to collaborate through projects and learning experiments.

It Encourages a Culture of Self-Learning

The best part about interactive learning resources is that they allow students to access their study material anytime and from anywhere. A student who might be traveling or waiting for a class to begin, could spend that time revising their material. 

That apart, eBooks that have been converted to ePUB also allow students to take quizzes and tests where the results are shared immediately.

How Publishers Benefit by Converting to ePUB

Today, even traditional publishers of K12 content are shifting towards interactive textbooks in ePUB format. Here’s a look at the top benefits of prioritizing this shift early on and building a market share in this growing digital learning segment:

Ease of Digital Content Creation

With advances in technology, it has become extremely easy to create high-quality, engaging digital content.

By leveraging user-friendly cloud-based digital publishing platforms like KITABOO, publishers can create and publish multimedia-enhanced interactive eBooks with ease.

The process is seamless, inexpensive, and hassle-free compared to the creation of physical textbooks.

The Capability to Digitize Existing Resources

K12 publishers already possess extensive resources in the form of physical textbooks and PDF eBooks.

Digital publishing platforms enable them to digitize their content at scale. They can also enhance their existing PDF eBooks by converting them to ePUB format.

The shift enables them to enhance the interactivity of books by adding fresh elements such as videos and audio. This helps learners understand complex concepts with ease.

Ease of Publishing and Distribution

Digital publishing platforms also enable K12 publishers to publish and distribute interactive digital learning content with ease.

The content can be segregated into playlists based on relevance. On the other hand, users can also be segregated into groups which enables the easy dissemination of content.

Distribution is as important as the creation of content. Organizations no longer need to use email and messaging app services, which often leads to bandwidth and storage issues.

Protect Content from Plagiarism

Yet another reason why K12 publishers are leveraging digital publishing is the fact that they can protect their content from duplication and plagiarism.

The digital rights management feature of digital publishing platforms helps K12 publishers protect their revenues as they have control over both access and usage of their product.

Get Access to Data Analytics

Digital content comes with the additional benefit of being able to track usage across learners.

Every time a learner engages with a video, audio, or eBook or takes an interactive quiz, digital publishers can get access to usage data. They can keep innovating content based on the data insights available.

Conclusion

New generations of learners are looking for flexibility, easy access, and engaging learning solutions. Hence, mobile-friendly, digital content, specifically interactive ePUB content, is the future of learning. 

Today, there are many tech-enabled K12 learning solutions available to help publishers meet their digital content creation, publishing, and distribution goals.
