Introduction

This report outlines the concept of a "Future Book" – a dynamic, technology-driven evolution of traditional textbooks. The goal is to create a more engaging and effective learning experience for both students and teachers, leveraging Cambridge Press's expertise and resources.

⁠

What is a Future Book?

A Future Book is an advanced digital educational platform that transcends the limitations of static text and images. It harnesses cutting-edge technologies to create an adaptive, responsive learning environment.

Key features of a Future Book may include:

Multi-modal interaction capabilities (speech, text, images)

Deep, connected, and timely information presentation

A toolkit of focused educational tools

Interactive learning notebooks

Personalised learning experiences for students

Continuous professional development opportunities for teachers

This report aims to provide a brief overview of a number of ideas that may inform the “Book of the Future”. In addition, the examples below (shown throughout report) demonstrate potential capabilities for certain purposes:

⁠

Cognition LLM⁠

⁠

Future Book - iPad View⁠

- An example of a Book being used on an iPAD by a teacher in class

⁠

Future Book - Dynamic Example⁠

- A further developed example in code.

⁠
