Award winning digital textbook available on iTunes

The Connect School of languages in Toronto has published a series of digital textbooks named Study It textbook series, available on iTunes. The „Digital Book Award“-winning e-books contain eight levels of grammar, eight levels of conversation, such as a listening and a Business English series. The judges decided to honour the editors James Rice and Jamie Matechuk for their innovative, creative and outstanding approaches and other aspects during the process of digital book publishing. Advantages of the digital textbooks are lower cost in comparison with printed versions, the possibility of offering free audio and video media and providing free updates. The editors follow Steve Jobs vision who emphasized: „Today's students have grown up immersed in technology. They need a textbook made for the way they learn.” But there are still difficulties to overcome. The majority of teachers tend to stick to conservative educational resources.
