Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the synchronization between a class schedule and an advanced digital textbook / digital document, and particularly relates to the synchronization between a class schedule and the classes of each subject in an advanced digital textbook.

Background Art

[0002] In the past decade, modern information and communication technologies have dramatically improved educational methods. The recent development of educational systems via the Internet has promoted the digital revolution by enabling printed textbooks to be stored and displayed in digital form on personal computers and other communication devices. It has brought irreversible changes to the educational system. As a result, digitized educational books have been developed with multiple advantages for readers. Currently, several companies are developing "interactive e-books with limited additional functions". Among them, some companies have met educational needs through a learning system (LSM). Most of the existing LSM tools usually provide a class schedule with only the names of the subjects corresponding to each class. It can be said that there is no company that has developed a linkable class schedule that connects the relevant parts of textbooks so far. Therefore, there is still no option to progress to the parts of the subjects taught over a certain period. Thus, students have no other option but to open each subject individually and manually progress to the relevant sessions. This is a rather time-consuming task. To avoid such a cumbersome problem, a better system is needed. The class schedule is a channel that supports the transmission of an effective teaching curriculum. Whether planning a subject for the first time or reviewing an existing subject, the class schedule enables teachers / students to organize the class schedule and make decisions based on their class schedule. It is necessary to properly consider the impacts of education and learning. Without knowing the lessons to be conveyed the next day, both tend to fall into difficulties. By grasping in advance the guidance of teachers and the content of lessons, students can learn much more easily. In addition, the present invention proposes a novel and user-friendly solution that can connect the class schedule (the class schedule of lessons) to specific parts of textbooks. The main objective of the present invention is to provide a link-compatible class schedule that can improve the current education system.
