5、int Kind?The shortcomings of traditional print edition textbooks are obvious: For starters theyre heavy, with the average physics textbook weighing 3.6 pounds. Theyre also expensive, especially when you factor in the average college students limited budget, typically costing hundreds of dollars ever
6、y semester. But the worst part is that print version of textbooks are constantly undergoing revisions. Many professors require that their students use only the latest versions in the classroom, essentially rendering older texts unusable. For students, it means theyre basically stuck with a four poun
7、d paper-weight that they cant sell back. Which is why digital textbooks, if they live up to their promise, could help ease many of these shortcomings. But till now, theyve been something like a mirage（幻影）in the distance, more like a hazy（模糊的）dream than an actual reality. Imagine the promise: Carryin
8、g all your textbooks in a 1.3 pound iPad? It sounds almost too good to be true. But there are a few pilot schools already making the transition（过渡）over to digital books. Universities like Cornell and Brown have jumped onboard. And one medical program at the University of California, Irvine, gave the
9、ir entire class iPads with which to download textbooks just last year. But not all were eager to jump aboard. “People were tired of using the iPad textbook besides using it for reading,” says Kalpit Shah, who will be going into his second year at Irvines medical program this fall. “They werent using
10、 it as a source of communication because they couldnt read or write in it. So a third of the people in my program were using the iPad in class to take notes, the other third were using laptops and the last third were using paper and pencil.” The reason it hasnt caught on yet, he tells me, is that th
11、e functionality of e-edition textbooks is incredibly limited, and some students just arent motivated to learn new study behavior. But a new application called Inkling might change all that. The company just released an updated version last week, and itll be utilized in over 50 undergraduate and grad
12、uate classrooms this coming school year. “Digital textbooks are not going to catch on,” says Inkling CEO Matt Maclnnis as hes giving me a demo（演示）over coffee. “What I mean by that is the current perspective of the digital textbook is its an exact copy of the print book. Theres Course Smart, etc., th
13、ese guys who take any image of the page and put it on a screen. If thats how were defining digital textbooks, theres no hope of that becoming a mainstream product.” He calls Inkling a platform for publishers to build rich multimedia content from the ground up, with a heavy emphasis on real-world fun
14、ctionality. The traditional textbook merely serves as a skeleton. At first glance Inkling is an impressive experience. After swiping（敲击）into the iPad app (应用软件 ), which you can get for free here, he opens up a few different types of textbooks. Up first is a chemistry book. The boot time is pretty fa
15、st, and he navigates through (浏览 ) a few chapters before swiping into a fully rendered 3D molecule that can be spun around to view its various building blocks. “Publishers give us all of the source media, artwork, videos,” he says, “We help them think through how to actually build something for this
16、 platform.” Next he pulls up a music composition textbook, complete with playable demos. Its a learning experience that attacks you from multiple sensory directions. Its clear why this would be something a music major would love. But the most exciting part about Inkling, to me, is its notation（批注）sy
17、stem. Heres how it works! When you purchase a used print book, it comes with its previous owners highlights and notes in the margins. It uses the experience of someone who already went through the class to help improve your reading (how much you trust each notation is obviously up to you). But with
18、lnkling, you can highlight a piece of content and make notes. Heres where things get interesting, though: If a particularly important passage is highlighted by multiple lnkling users, that information is stored on the cloud and is available for anyone reading the same textbook to come across. That m
19、eans users have access to notes from not only their classmates and Facebook friends, but anyone who purchased the book across the country. The best comments are then sorted democratically by a voting system, meaning that your social learning experience is shared with the best and brightest thinkers.
20、 As a bonus, professors can even chime in (插话 ) on discussions. Theyll be able to answer the questions of students who are in their class directly via the interactive book. Of course, Inkling addresses several of the other shortcomings in traditional print as well. Textbook versions are constanly up
21、dated, motivating publishers by minimizing production costs (the big ones like McGraw-Hill are already onboard). Furthermore, students will be able to purchase sections of the text instead of buying the whole thing, with individual chapters costing as little as $2.99. There are, however, challenges.
22、 “It takes efforts to build each book,” Maclnnis tells me. And its clear why. Each interactive textbook is a media-heavy experience built from the ground up, and you can tell that it takes a respectable amount of manpower to put together each one. For now the app is also iPad-exclusive, and though a
23、 few of these educational institutions are giving the hardware away for free, for other students who dont have such a luxury its an added layer of cost and an expensive one at that. But this much is clear. The traditional textbook model is and has been broken for quite some time. Whether digitally i
24、nteractive ones like Inkling actually take off or not remains to be seen, and we probably wont have a definite answer for the next few years. However the solution to any problem begins with a step in a direction. And at least for now, that hazy mirage in the distance? A little more tangible (可触摸的 ),
25、 a little less of a dream. 1. The biggest problem with traditional print textbooks is that _. A) they are not reused once a new edition comes out B) they cost hundreds of dollars every semester C) they are too heavy to carry around D) they take a longer time to revise 2.
