Ever the technology pacesetter, South Korea announced earlier this year that it's committed to replacing paper textbooks with digital versions in classrooms within just three years – and that means tablet computers.
South Korea’s Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, which is sinking over £1.2 billion into the scheme, will create a cloud-based system to allow students to download e-textbooks straight to their government-funded Samsung tablet; beyond that are plans for students to upload essays to the same cloud, which will also chart their academic progress. |
