Creating interactive eBooks is one new type of “new media” that we can implement. Specifically, the textbooks. A lot of students are investing in online textbooks, instead of buying hard copies. Sometimes these textbooks are on specific websites such as McGraw Hill or Person. The lectures or stories can be more interactive by including videos, audio, or diagrams. The textbook shouldn’t just be an ordinary audiobook, but strive to create lessons or stories in a more personal or intimate level. Students or users are scrolling through the material, pages and pages of information. A lot of students are failing to grasp this material. Majority of these textbooks have abstract topics that could be further broken down. Textbook companies can utilize technology to create unique features on the readings, to guide students, and create a better understanding of the material.
