This document discusses a presentation given by John Martin, the CEO of Sanoma Learning, at the Frankfurt Buchmesse in October 2014. The presentation discusses how schools and teachers are ready and willing but feel unequipped for digital learning. Research shows that teachers believe digital learning can improve outcomes, engagement, and efficiency but they lack sufficient budget, equipment, training, and materials. Teachers see publishers playing a key role in providing digital content and support to help with student engagement, learning outcomes, and teacher efficiency. The opportunity for educational publishers is to show more leadership in guiding the transition to digital learning by developing dynamic digital content, supporting workflow, utilizing advanced analytics, and providing professional support.
