  6. Automated Workflow • Working to complete full-scale automation for eText title creation directly from the new integrated workflows. • HiEd in 2012; School in 2013 • Goal would be to eliminate nearly all the current manual activities. • Expect connection to Documentum to be complete by December of this year. • This automation takes advantage of workflow processes as well as the Content Planning Tool and Documentum.

  7. NexTextI – Demo ready in Jan 2013 • New eText environment that combines *smart* content and workflow strategies by utilizing taxonomies, learning objectives, basic (study and practice) assessments, and modular re-flowable content with rich media and interactivity. • In addition to standalone and library offerings, we will combine this experience with Next Gen Learning Applications and other key initiatives. • NexText applications will be born mobile; supporting tablets and small-form factor devices (e.g. iPod Touch, iPhone, and Android smartphones). • Content will be based on XHTML5 and capable of creating ePUB3 files • NexText will leverage existing eText server infrastructure and share core features and code components including platform integration models, SMS/RUMBA integrations and connections to Digital Libraries. The NexText application will be born into new Integrated Workflow. • NexText products will coexist with existing eText titles so that students and faculty with access to fidelity eText titles can move back-and-forth to their bookshelf (or Digital Library) and into NexText titles.

  8. NexText II - Summer 2013 • Second major release of NexText • Including a new rules-engine that enables *smart* recommendations for students studying key topics • A natural extension of the *smart* content concepts • Combines learning objectives, taxonomy topics, basic assessments, analytics, and methods adapted from learning research and cognitive psychology • Scalable model to achieve an interactive eBook experience. • Focus will be on providing a lightweight student experience that “recommends” rather than “replaces.” • Approach will deliver powerful extension to the traditional study paradigm and substantively differentiates Pearson from other eBook technologies.
