service
How has a prototype look like of a cloud-based system creating interactive
e-Books?

• Learning Analytics can help to improve the learning process through individualization
• Learning Analytics means data, more exactly really big data. Nevertheless we have to bear in mind data security of all personalized data to any time.
• The implementation of the electronic exercise books is based on the EPUB 3 standard and relies on the support of this standard on the according reading device.
Discussion
There is a great potential for the future of interactive text books.
