Intro 1:  Vision  of  Digital Book   

•    HPC:   Exciting  but  educationally challenging:
•  
•         Not User Friendly,  hard, long:   learn  &  teach
•  
•    Hard Stuff:    Subjects  +  Abstract  &  Complex Concepts
•  
  •   e.g. Physical,  mathematical,  computational sciences
  •       Tacit (intuitive, implicit)  knowledge,  expertise
•  
  •   So,  incorporate  multimedia  enhancements:
  •                 graphs, pictures, time dependences,  data, simulations, ...
  •  
  •   Use  multisensory  enhancements (brainer):
  •             sight, hearing, touch, movement, [smell, taste]
•  
  •   Improved access:  blind,  dyslexic, abstract-concept  challenged
  •       potential benefit to all readers
  •       more accessible knowledge  (not information)

•     Real value of interactive digital technologies (not games!)
•  
•    Why? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
