On Saturday, I visited the Educa fair, where a book called “Towards eSchool” was launched. It includes my article “What kind of digital education do teachers need?”<\/p>\n
Among the\u00a0twenty\u00a0authors is\u00a0Teuvo Sankila,\u00a0<\/em>publishing director for Otava Publishing. He spoke at the launch event about\u00a0the\u00a0role of digitalisation\u00a0in\u00a0the production of professional textbooks. According to him,\u00a0several factors require the current style of publication:\u00a0reliability, management of\u00a0the\u00a0big picture,\u00a0and age-appropriate\u00a0presentation.<\/p>\n Sankila argues that\u00a0<\/strong>only older students benefit from open, online material. They have critical reading skills and they can perceive the outline from fragmented web information. Open web materials are also useful for differentiating and updating teaching.<\/p>\n The actual surprise was the research data\u00a0he\u00a0<\/strong>provided: 90% of learning materials\u00a0in British schools\u00a0are produced locally. There is no unified textbook culture like in Finland. The quality of the material thus varies greatly from school to school.<\/p>\n In Sankila’s view, Finnish practice brings equality to students. Everyone gets high-quality paper or electronic books in line with the new curriculum at the same time. However, it may be worth recalling that there are also alternative ways, and that Sankila represents the publisher’s view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Saturday, I visited the Educa fair, where a book called “Towards eSchool” was launched.
