Description:
SocialTechBook is a research project that aims to analyze the opportunities to enrich the book and reading experience using technology. The book is changing, we wonder what is the future of the book? How will be the book of the future? Technology has part of the answer, it allows to enrich books (both paper and electronic) with audio visual resources, interactive activities, access to remote experiments, etc. Reading, traditionally an individual experience, can be socialized thanks to mobile phones or tablets. Nowadays you can share notes with other users directly or through social networks, underline a book collaboratively, interact over the same activity or ask a question to the teacher or expert in the area. All these possibilities integrated with the reading of the book.
