Market status and development prospect of e-book bag

With the rapid development of computer technology, communication technology and network technology, the ability of information acquisition, transmission, processing, regeneration and utilization has been greatly strengthened. E-books are no longer the simple digitization of paper textbooks, but can create vivid teaching situations with multimedia such as sound, video and animation, provide convenient and fast query function, send a large number of intelligent exercises with strong pertinence, give feedback and guidance in time, generate independently, and accumulate questions, collect wrong questions and update resources in time.

E-book package is a teaching resource package that integrates several e-books according to the scientific structure, including teaching materials, teaching AIDS and reference books. Because of its unique function, the learning revolution triggered by it will definitely subvert paper textbooks and become the main learning tool.

First, the growth path of e-books

1999, Singapore government tried out 163 e-book bag in Deming Middle School. In 200 1 year, the Malaysian Ministry of Education tried to promote e-books in 200 primary and secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur and its surrounding areas. Next, China tried e-books in four cities, including Beijing and Shanghai. At present, the hardware of e-books is basically based on PDA.

In June 2009, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, planned to let state schools at all levels abandon traditional paper textbooks in stages and let students use e-books instead. Coincidentally, according to Singapore's Lianhe Evening News, the government of Tenggara, Malaysia provided free electronic textbooks to 25,000 fifth-grade students in 324 primary schools in the state. In late July, 2009, Hanwang Technology and Intel launched a "Hanwang e-book bag" for students, which is based on electronic ink technology.

At the 20 12 las Vegas international consumer electronics show (CES), a new generation of e-book bag Tapkid attracted many visitors' attention. It is specially made for students, and truly achieves the perfect combination of appearance, portability, ruggedness and battery durability. In order to be strong and fall-resistant, it has a built-in steel frame and even American military glass, which can withstand thousands of 5 kg gravity collisions, and there is no problem at all for accidental falls in life or falls during transportation.

Second, the market status of e-books

At present, the hardware of e-book bag mostly adopts tablet computer or e-reader. Tablets support color and multimedia, but reading for a long time will damage your eyesight. Compared with other display technologies, E-ink technology used by e-readers has better reflectivity and contrast, which overcomes the problem that LCD is difficult to read under backlight and strong light. It has the same reading ability as paper and ink, suitable for long-term reading and low energy consumption. It is the best reader for illustrated books, but it does not support color and multimedia playback. In addition, there are still problems such as instability and slow handwriting response.

The "Banbantong" project being implemented will enable every classroom to access the campus network and have multimedia teaching equipment; "Wireless Campus" and "Wireless City" based on 3G, WiFi and WiMax technologies are also under construction. However, in networked classrooms, dozens of students surf the Internet at the same time, and the network congestion phenomenon is more serious.

There are many online teaching resources, so it is necessary to build and improve a targeted, practical, systematic and scientific digital learning platform.

In a word, at present, many countries have not reached the level of popularizing e-bag, and are basically in the initial stage of experiments.

Third, the development of e-books

The development of e-books does not happen overnight. It is impossible to wait until all the conditions are met before pushing it out at the same time. There must be a process of continuous research, continuous improvement and continuous improvement:

1.

The education system has a large number of education and teaching experts, who are the planners and users of e-books. The education publishing house has the advantages of a large number of teaching resources copyrights and organizing the development of teaching resources. The IT industry, with its technological advantages, has joined hands to enter the e-book bag market and seek common cause in the wave of educational informatization.

2. Develop an ideal hardware platform for e-book bag.

At present, the screen technologies of e-book readers include electronic paper technology, LCD and CRT display technology. Nowadays, LCD and CRT displays are divergent display devices, which emit light by themselves and can be used normally even in dim light. However, with the increase of ambient light intensity, the brightness of melanin increases and the contrast decreases, and the display effect of this display is not so satisfactory. Electronic paper technology belongs to reflective display equipment, which displays images by reflecting ambient light. The brightness of an image changes according to the intensity of ambient light, as does the contrast. Therefore, the electronic paper book technology has no backlight. From all angles, the reading experience is almost the same as that of traditional paper reading. It is suitable for reading at all angles, without flicker, radiation and strong light, so that users can experience the pleasure of reading outdoors, and its display effect can be completely comparable to that of ordinary paper printed matter.

Through hard work, an ideal e-book bag will be developed, which has the characteristics of no eye injury, firmness, fall resistance, low energy consumption and low cost. The display screen supports color and multimedia playback, and has the reading experience of electronic paper books, which better meets the learning needs of "information browsing", "storage and retrieval", "screen click writing", "annotations, bookmarks, notes" and "convenient entry and accurate identification of complex formulas".

3. Formulate relevant industry standards

At present, there is no unified industry standard for the hardware of e-book bag and the file format of e-book. For the sake of commercial interests, hardware manufacturers and publishers have developed their own proprietary readers and file formats, which makes the e-books bought from an online bookstore basically unable to be used by other e-book readers. In the long run, the disunity of standards will not only cause great waste of resources, but also seriously restrict the development of e-books.

Judging from foreign cases, the standards are "made" and not unified. Finally, the format must be open and unified. So the fierce standard war will continue until the standard e-book bag appears. Then, under the coordination of the competent authorities, according to the provisions of the National Standardization Technical Committee, the Standardization Technical Committee is responsible for organizing relevant enterprises and institutions to negotiate and formulate standards that can share everyone's interests, and finally promulgated and implemented by the state.

4. Construct a perfect information-based teaching environment.

The Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10-2020) clearly points out, "Accelerate the construction of educational information infrastructure. Information technology has a revolutionary impact on the development of education and must be highly valued. Incorporate educational informatization into the overall strategy of national informatization development and deploy educational information network in advance. By 2020, we will basically establish an education information system covering all kinds of schools in urban and rural areas, and promote the modernization of educational content, teaching means and methods. Make full use of high-quality resources and advanced technology, innovate operating mechanism and management mode, integrate existing resources, and build advanced, efficient and practical digital education infrastructure. Accelerate the popularization of terminal facilities, promote the construction of digital campus, and realize various ways to access the Internet. Focus on strengthening the information infrastructure construction of rural schools and narrowing the digital gap between urban and rural areas. We will speed up the upgrading of the computer network for educational research in China and the broadband transmission network for educational satellites in China. Formulate basic standards for educational informatization and promote the interconnection of information systems. "

It can be seen that a perfect information-based teaching environment will be built in the near future.

5. Build rich digital learning resources.

The Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10-2020) clearly points out, "Strengthen the development and application of quality education resources. Strengthen the construction of network teaching resource system. Introduce international high-quality digital teaching resources. Develop online learning courses. Establish digital library and virtual laboratory. Establish an open and flexible public service platform for educational resources to promote the popularization and sharing of high-quality educational resources. Innovate the network teaching mode and carry out high-quality and high-level distance education. Continue to promote distance education in rural primary and secondary schools so that teachers and students in rural and remote areas can enjoy quality educational resources. "

After a period of time, it will be practical, systematic and scientific, and can meet the needs of teachers and students at all levels and schools. At that time, teachers will refer to the teaching resources on the server, use tools and software on their own computers to design teaching plans, make courseware, and select classroom and after-school exercises from the intelligent question bank. In the classroom, the management system is used to standardize classroom teaching. When students need to watch video animations and comment on students' exercises, the teacher uses the management system to monitor each student's e-book bag. When students need to learn by themselves, they can use the handwriting function to annotate and complete exercises while browsing the teaching materials, and save them in picture format, which truly shows the students' completion and solves the problem of fast entry of special symbols in science. Teachers can also send and receive homework through this network and interact between home and school.

Any breakthrough in the above aspects will promote the development of e-book bags. E-bag will go through the process of coexistence of paper books and e-bag, and the content of e-bag will change from the digitalization of paper books to the development of high-quality educational resources according to teaching needs and students' cognitive characteristics under the guidance of modern educational concepts. When both software and hardware are suitable for students to learn, they will replace paper books and become the main tools for students to learn.

(1) Market Application Overview

It is understood that at the beginning of 20 12, the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Launching the Pilot Work of Education Informatization", and many provinces and cities across the country started the pilot work of "e-bag", and more than ten schools in Futian, Nanshan, Baoan and Longgang districts of Shenzhen have started the pilot work.

At present, 0/00% of public primary and secondary schools in Shenzhen/kloc have built campus networks, and 0/00% of classrooms in/kloc are equipped with multimedia information terminals. The man-machine ratio of students is 4.7: 1, and that of teachers is 1. By 20 15, the man-machine ratio of primary and secondary school students in Shenzhen will reach 4: 1.

The arrival of the era of "paperless teaching" has been more and more obvious in the world. From the perspective of the world educational equipment market, e-books are not only faced with hundreds of billions of domestic industrial potential, but also an inestimable bright prospect of rapid global growth. At the same time, the industrial competition faced by e-books is not only the competition of domestic manufacturers, but also the global competition. Therefore, the corporate vision planning, technology research and development and competition strategy of e-book bag manufacturers should be more international and open, so as to meet the era of globalization of e-book bags and grasp the development direction of enterprises.

As the latest lesson plan in the classroom, the biggest advantage of e-book bag lies in its rich learning resources, which can promote students' autonomous learning, especially personalized learning. But for now, even if paper textbooks are included in e-books, the traditional paper textbooks have not disappeared and continue to accompany students' learning. In addition, the amount of students' homework has not decreased, and the teaching AIDS have not decreased. "Under the baton of the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, it is really difficult to reduce the burden through the e-book bag." Therefore, e-book bag can only be used as a learning tool to optimize students' learning style, thus stimulating students' interest in learning and ultimately improving learning efficiency.

(2) The application trend and existing problems of electronic schoolbags.

With the rapid development of information technology, tablet computer has become a new favorite with its mobility, convenience and portability. With the country's increasing attention to educational informatization, it has become an era choice for the development of educational informatization to apply e-books to teaching and popularize them. As the product of the development of educational informatization to a certain extent, e-book bag has also brought many innovations to the educational classroom.

Like mushrooms after rain, the speed of light "erodes" the education classroom.

Shen Lijun, vice president of FLTRP, said in an interview that "e-book bag" is a direction of educational informatization development. With these advanced means, students can practice foreign language pronunciation. Different students with different levels can also implement classified teaching through these media, which has certain benefits. However, Shen Lijun believes that whether using iPad or other media is just a technical means, it can't replace all educational links.

A cultural enterprise in Nanjing said that once the e-book bag enters the popularization track, the market it will bring will be tens of billions of yuan. According to statistics, there are 374,000 primary and secondary schools in China, with 65.438+0.9 billion students and 320 million students. 20 1 1 year, the urbanization rate of China exceeded 50% for the first time.

"If e-books are popularized from primary and secondary schools in the city, at least 95 million students will become its users. If the average price of e-books is 1 000 yuan, plus the sales of related supporting products, the whole market scale will reach 95 billion yuan. By then, China will become the world's largest e-book market. " The relevant person in charge of Jiangsu Chunyu Group said.

E-books with mixed feelings have a long way to go.

Starting from 200 1, the state proposed to promote e-book packages. 1 1 years later, e-books are still in an embarrassing stage, and e-books have not been rapidly popularized nationwide. Although the 12th Five-Year Plan of China has made clear instructions on education informatization, news of e-bag pilot has come from Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and other places. However, due to the non-uniform industry standard of e-bag, the challenge of changing traditional teaching concepts, the training problems of students and teachers, the problems of price, electricity consumption and quality, and the problems of digital teaching resources, the enterprises involved in this field are mixed, so the promotion of e-bag in teaching is also a great challenge.

According to a poll conducted by China Education Research Network, 78. 1% people disapprove of popularizing "e-books" in primary and secondary schools. As a new thing, there are many conveniences in taking classes with iPad, but it has not been recognized by most parents.

The data showed that from 20 1 1 to 20 12, the detection rate of poor eyesight was 37.38% for primary school students, 69.59% for junior high school students and 8 1.08% for senior high school students.

Research on e-book bag and its educational application

This paper defines the concept of e-bag, analyzes the system structure, functional characteristics, application foundation and conditions of e-bag, probes into the educational application mode of e-bag, and analyzes and expounds the application cases of e-bag.

E-book bag: Zhu Zhiting's hardware equipment (portable learning terminal) and the functional framework of education and teaching system (personal learning environment)

E-book bag is a kind of personal portable information terminal, which has the functions of reading electronic textbooks, managing learning resources and recording personal learning files, personal learning tools and interactive learning tools supporting various effective learning methods, and has information processing ability and wireless communication function.

Learning resources include teaching resources such as course library, learning tool library, question bank and educational game library, which are presented in three forms: steady state, solid state and dynamic state. Among them, steady-state resources are provided by education authorities and schools, such as electronic textbooks; The e-book bag has built-in solid resources, such as calculators, dictionaries and teaching AIDS. Dynamic resources refer to learning resources obtained through service platforms, such as test questions, extracurricular reading materials, family education resources, social education resources, etc.

(3) Functions and characteristics

In addition to the basic functions of mobile media, the educational and teaching functions of e-book bag mainly include: synchronous classroom teaching and notes, teaching management and evaluation, learning recording and tracking, "family-school-society" collaborative interaction, and management and application of learning tools.

The main features of the e-book bag are as follows:

1. learn the portability and mobility of the terminal.

2. Multimedia, miniaturization and diversification of learning resources.

Miniaturization refers to the gradual development of resource design to fragmentation and miniaturization; Diversification means that e-books have not only school education resources, but also family education and social education resources.

3. Support diversified and personalized services.

At present, the construction of e-book bag resources is mainly based on school education resources, and family education and social education resources are relatively scarce. Compared with terminal R&D and resource construction, the construction of service platform is relatively backward, which fails to meet the individual needs of families, schools and society.

The application of electronic schoolbags in school education includes classroom teaching, campus activities and teaching management and evaluation.

(1) classroom teaching application

Teachers use e-books to conduct synchronous classroom teaching, instantly capture students' learning trends and adjust teaching organization; E-bag teaching

Evaluation function, teachers publish and correct exercises online to realize real-time classroom evaluation. Students can use electricity according to the learning theme under the guidance of teachers.

Subschoolbags are rich in digital learning resources and learning tools, which can be used for group collaborative learning and inquiry learning.

(2) Application of campus activities

Taking advantage of the mobile portability of e-bag, students carry out action-oriented experiential learning and inquiry learning on campus. Campus activities are generally carried out in groups. The activity group walked out of the classroom with the e-book bag, collected data by using the e-book bag, communicated with teachers and classmates through the wireless network, and finally showed and evaluated the results.

(3) Teaching management and evaluation

E-books can provide classified storage services for teaching content, automatically correct homework and test papers submitted by students according to the knowledge base provided by teachers, and realize statistics of students' learning situation, such as statistics of wrong questions and control of learning progress, so that teachers can know students' knowledge and learning progress in time and provide targeted guidance to students.

Case:

1. Teachers use the rich digital learning resources of e-books to create learning situations, so that students can connect with real life and stimulate students' interest in learning. Students form cooperative groups, make plans and define the division of labor; Teachers and students return to life and have campus experience —— Learn about campus plants, such as campus plant identification, campus plant measurement and campus plant specimen making. In the process of campus experience, students use e-books to collect data about plants on campus, and use network resources to identify plants; At the same time, you can communicate with teachers and classmates through the e-book bag service platform to share your learning experience.

E-book bag in home-school cooperative teaching based on theme activities

Application of

2. This case explores the application of e-book bag in home-school collaborative teaching based on theme activities in the topic of Unit 3 "Learning to spend money" in Morality and Society of Grade Four, and its mode is shown in Figure 3. The topic is divided into three themes, namely "small family account book", "how to spend money" and "being a smart consumer", involving parents' work, family income and expenditure, spending principles, shopping places, shopping tips, and consumer rights protection. In the process of home-school collaborative teaching based on theme activities, under the collaborative guidance of teachers and parents, students can experience the difficulty of parents making money by participating in parents' interviews and social research assisted by parents, cultivate correct consumption and financial management concepts, and master certain consumption common sense and skills.

(1) Determine the theme and design scheme.

Teachers choose several alternative topics according to the teaching content of theme activities and publish them to the service platform. Parents check the platform information and ask the teacher.

Feedback, consult together, determine the theme, and jointly design the theme activity teaching plan.

(2) Create situations and define tasks.

Teachers use real scenes in life to create situations and introduce themes; Students know the situation and have questions. For example, the theme activity of "family small account book"

In middle school, the teacher used the rich resources in the e-book bag to create a life situation of shopping malls and asked, "Where does the money come from?" Introducer's question

The central theme of the court's income and expenditure. Teachers define learning tasks in classroom teaching, and issue instruction manuals for learning tasks and activities to the platform.

Medium; Parents guide students to make theme activity plans according to the instruction manual. In this process, students and parents can take advantage of the gap between e-books and teachers.

Communication.

(3) Parents' assistance. Students conduct social surveys according to the theme activity plan, and parents assist students in activities. In this link, the process of students' theme activities is recorded by e-books and released to the service platform. At the same time, in view of the problems encountered in the activity process, parents and students can communicate with teachers, so that students can successfully carry out off-campus theme activities.

(4) Teamwork, sharing and communication After the off-campus theme activities, students return to the classroom. Teachers guide students to communicate in groups, share the experience and gains of theme activities with parents, and send representatives to report the results of the activities. Teachers provide timely guidance to guide students to acquire knowledge from activities, improve their abilities and sublimate their emotions.

(5) Summarize the evaluation and share the harvest. Teachers guide students to sum up the gains of the theme activities, reflect on the shortcomings, and publish the results of the activities to the service platform. Parents can learn about the process of teaching activities and the results of students' activities through the platform, and evaluate the teaching activities. In this case, e-book bag plays an important role in home-school cooperative teaching.

The role of environment creation, knowledge construction, collaborative communication and evaluation feedback. The level of home-school cooperative education is that teachers and parents jointly understand students' academic achievements.

The rise of academic performance is the exchange of students' learning content, learning process and learning results, which deepens the effect of home-school cooperation.
