THE IDEA

Project Details

Project Description

The DEM project is designed to elevate the use of digital textbooks by providing comprehensive guidelines and practical examples for their development. Our focus encompasses all critical aspects: didactics, design, technical requirements, and accessibility. By addressing these elements, we aim to create digital textbooks that are not only educationally effective but also universally accessible.

Objectives and Goals

Enhance Educational Quality

Develop digital textbooks that improve learning outcomes through interactive and engaging content.

Promote Accessibility

Ensure that all digital textbooks are accessible to students with disabilities, meeting the highest standards of inclusivity.

Support Educators

Provide teachers with the tools and resources needed to integrate digital textbooks into their curriculum effectively.

Innovate Textbook Design

Create guidelines for innovative textbook design that leverages modern technology to enhance the learning experience.

Facilitate Collaboration

Foster collaboration among educational institutions, technology providers, and accessibility experts to create comprehensive digital learning

Core Themes

The DEM project is structured around five core themes, each critical to the success of digital textbooks:

1. Didactics
