E-LOOX, A HYBRID LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMijseajournal
E-loox is an educational software application that has been designed specifically for students located in areas with limited Internet access. Unlike the majority of existing educational applications, E-loox is a “hybrid app”– meaning it can function both on and offline. As a hybrid app, E-loox allows students to complete assignments, access course materials, and conduct research in places where there is no Internet access. While global Internet access has expanded rapidly in the last decade, there are still more than 3.5 billion people who lack access, including approximately 60 million people in the United States. E-loox seeks to bridge the gap for the millions of students who have internet in the classroom but lack a home connection.

2. Need
Over the last 10 years, technology has changed greatly.
Internet has gone from being connected to wireless
Cellular phones have gone from being only for phone calls to small
computers that connect the user to all over the world through the
World Wide Web.
Computers have gone from being large desktop models to small 7”
tablet size.
Cell phones and computers have gone from being owned by just a
few to now most teenagers and adults in the United States have one.
Information comes to in small amounts and is not dependent on
books or television networks, but is available to anyone connected
to the World Wide Web and especially Social Networks.

3. Need
Our students, especially our upper elementary and
middle school students, have grown up in a world
where they use technology on a daily basis at home.
Students play video games and educational games and
watching videos on their home computers, and they
use the computers to help complete their homework.
According to National Science Foundation, 78% of
fourth graders and 84% of eighth graders and among
students receiving Free and Reduced Lunches 62% and
67% have computers at home in 2004.

5. Need
Knowing that
these are
changing times
for our students,
our schools need
to make changes
to keep our
students
interested and to
support their
new learning
styles.
6. Change
Many Schools are doing
so by having the use of
computers in the
classroom and more and
more schools are
introducing 1:1
computers, so that each
student can have their
own computer to use at
school.

7. Change
One major change in
education to help
support these new type
of learners is switching
from traditional books
that each student carries
to a on-line version of
information, whether it
is a textbook from an
educational publisher or
Flexible versions that
teachers are able to
customize to fit their
situations.
9. Change
The change to digital textbooks has to come from the
top of Education, including the U.S. Department of
Education and each individual State Department of
Education.
Local levels of education may have the desire to
introduce digital textbooks, but without help and
permission from upper levels of government, it can be
more difficult.
10. Change
Change has to happen, just not at school, but also at
home and in communities.
http://napi.netflow.com/wingspanpartnerships.org/images/To%20Engagement.jpg
11. Change
The United States Department of Education along with the
Federal Communication Commission have developed the
Digital Textbook Playbook.
The Playbook shows the steps needed for a local educational
unit to implement digital textbooks.
Digital Textbook Playbook
12. Change
22 states have grouped together to form the National
Association of State Textbook Association (NASTA) to
help with adoption of textbooks.
This organization has adopted the definition of
“instructional materials” to include digital/electronic
formats.
Other states have changed their educational laws to
either require switching to digital textbooks or
encourage the use of digital textbooks.

14. Change
The ACT will be offered in an On-Line version starting in 2015 according to an
article in the New York Times with Jon Erickson, president of ACT’s
educational division.
“We are moving to a computer-based version, but for the foreseeable future, we
will also have the paper and pencil test as an option for schools that don’t have
the technological capability,” said Jon Erickson, the president of ACT’s
Education Division. “We will probably have the option for students to choose
paper and pencil, as well. But all the anecdotal evidence is that students prefer
the computer.”

CK-12 Vision Statement:
We need to go from today’s “fixed time, variable learning” to a
“variable time, fixed learning” model or even
better, “maximum capability learning” within a teacher’s
constraints of standards compliance and other administrative
rules in their region. This new model adapts to each student
level, style, and circumstance while leveraging new digital tools
to answer the most fundamental questions: “What can
digitization do for the textbook?” and “What can
digitization do for learning?” instead of the more mundane
“How can the textbook become digital?”.

22. Implementation
The introduction of Digital Textbooks into a school
needs a team behind it, so the introduction will be
successful and adopted by all.
Team Members:
Administration
Curriculum Director
Technology Department
Teachers
24. Conclusion
Why switch to Digital Textbooks?
Digital Textbooks will allow our students to learn in a way
that they use technology and find information on a daily
basis.
With proper implementation, Digital Content will save
money in the curriculum budget.
Curriculum will stay up-to-date.
Digital Textbooks allow for the needs of all students to be
met.
Editor's Notes
The world of technology has greatly changed over the last decade. Because of the advancements in technology, individuals have the ability to be in almost instant contact with others in the world and can find information almost immediately. The devices have decrease in size and many young kids are using technology daily. Information no longer waits for the nightly news; itis easily accessible at all times.
Students do not learn in the same way as students in the past used to. The number of students who have access to available technology is greatly increasing. According to the National Science Foundation, 78% of fourth graders and 84% of eighth graders have a computer at home for the student to use for homework. The majority of students who receive Free and Reduced Lunches also have computers available for them at home.
This table shows the percentage of U.S. children and young adults and how they use the internet in 2004. The main use is for help with homework for the ages of10-17.
Because the world is changing, schools need to change the way that information is being presented. Students are used to finding information quickly and being able to interact with it.Having the technology hardware does not ensure that digital learners have all of the tools for them to be successful in school. They also need information in new formats.
A change is happening in schools around the nation. More and more schools are able to purchase computers for their students to use while at school and even for the students to take home in a 1:1 program. Provided that the students have Internet connections at home, they have access to the information they need for homework quickly and at all times.
A traditional textbook is all of the information in one format, and even though students are able to learn from it there is no supporting help besides a glossary in the back of the book. Technology usually has many different paths to help reinforce the information for example: embedded links to activities and videos.

The change to digital textbooks has to come from the top of Education, including the U.S. Department of Education and each individual State Department of Education.Local levels may have the desire to introduce digital textbooks, but without help and permission from upper levels, it can be more difficult.
A change to digital textbooks will not be successful, if there is not cooperation between the school, community and the parents. There may have to be a change in all three settings to help students gain information from technology and to use it successfully.
The FederalCommunication Commission and the U.S. Department of Education recognize the need of having broadband internet access not just at school, but also at home. The Digital Textbook Playbook helps address the needs to successfully implement digital textbooks. The goal of the Playbook is that all school districts have switched to digital textbooks by 2017. Please click on the link to be taken to the Playbook.
22 states have grouped together to form the National Association of State Textbook Administrators to help with adoption of textbooks and have adopted the definition of “instructional materials” to include digital/electronic formats in 2012. This is one of first nation wide associations that have adopted this definition for its members and are working to have quality digital textbooks. The states that are a part of the NASTA include Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
This “S” curve shows the dates that states have changed their educational codes to allow or require the use of digital formats. The other states that are not part of the NASTA but have changed their educational codes are Illinois, New York, Ohio and Massachusetts.Many of the other states leave textbook adoption up to the individual school districts, so there are many school districts in these states that have or are in the process of adopting digital textbooks.
With the major college entrance exams, including the ACT in 2015, going to be offered on-line, students need to become accustomed to reading for information and comprehension on computers. It can take some adjustment for students, but having them use digital textbooks, this ease concern about taking the tests online. Please click on the orange link to be taken to the full article.
In Out of Print: Reimaging the K-12 Textbook in a Digital Age, the authors discuss the benefits of digital textbooks: Flexibility to update content which allow them to remain relevant to students’ lives and what is happening in the world is a main benefit. Many digital textbooks can be differentiated to the reading levels of the different students and will help meet the requirements of an Individual Education Plan. The orange link will take you to the full report and briefing to the State Technology Educational Directors Association meeting in 2012.
Traditional Textbook Publishers have on-line versions of their textbooks available for purchase to use in the classroom and at home. They offer the full textbook on line plus links to supporting websites and materials. There is usually a one click glossary so students can see the definition of the vocabulary words that are in the readings.
Notice on this page from a Glencoe textbook that students are able to highlight information, have access to the glossary by clicking on a word, and the student is able to view related videos by clicking on links and to take practice quizzes.
Publishers who offer this service in Michigan:Macmillian/McGraw-Hill, GlencoePearson/Prentice HallHoughton Mifflin HarcourtThere are other digital content applications available to teachers and schools to use. Some of these resources are free and others, the school has to pay to use the service, but it is usually less expensive than using a traditional publisher.
Discovery Education, a leader in educational videos offers “Tech Books”. These books are on-line reading that are linked to their videos, a glossary and other helpful content. There is a cost per student to use the service.
CK-12 is an on-line organization that offers their FlexBooks for free. The teachers are able to set up the readings, videos and other resources into downloadable and printable “books”. There is also on-line learning games and other resources associated with CK-12. Please click on the first orange link to be taken to their Vision Statement. The second link will take you to the teacher site where you are able to view a Flexbook.
The decision has been made to introduce Digital Textbooks into a school, now what? How will a school design an implementation schedule that fits the needs of both teachers and students?
The introduction of Digital Textbooks into a school needs a team behind it, so the introduction will be successful and adopted by all.Team Members:Administration: Provide leadership and acceptance of digital textbooks,arranges for funding to purchase the necessary license, andprovides the proper hardware to run the textbooksCurriculum Director will also have a part in the implementation. They will work with the other team members to answer the following questions:What are the overall goals of the school district with the implementation of the textbooks? Does the curriculum fit the needs of the school with meeting the standards and the ability to be differentiated as necessary?Technology Department - will insure that the infrastructure will meet the increase need of all of the devicesTeachers - Teachers are on the Front line of adoption.They will ensure that the digital content is appropriate for their students and at their reading and comprehension level.
Teachers – some teachers will be hesitant or resistant to switch to on-line textbooks, so what can be done to help easy their hesitation?If one or two teachers from each grade level or building would be willing to test the curriculum for a year, they would be able to show the other teachers how the digital textbooks enhance the learning in their classrooms. These teaches would be the first line of help and resource for when digital textbooks were fully deployed in the school.
Why switch to Digital Textbooks?Digital Textbooks will allow our students to learn in the way that they are familiar with and find information on a daily basis.With proper implementation, Digital Content will save money in the curriculum budget.Curriculum will stay up-to-date.Digital Textbooks allow for the needs of all students to be met.
