Description
The challenge: Books are still essential as knowledge carriers
and also for teaching at the ZHAW. Nevertheless, digitization in
this area is mostly limited to administrative aspects (e.g.,
eBooks, databases), whereas the content potential through
interactive and multimedia elements is largely neglected.
The solution: The aim of the present project is to evaluate the
digitization potential of textbooks and reference books using the
currently developed marketing textbook as an example. The primary
result is a generalizable overall concept with a series of "digital
add-ons" to supplement the basic textbook and lecture materials.
The added value is to be investigated in an accompanying study.
