Moinmoin,

calling directly from a workshop with tablet-project-collegues within =

the 'Medienberatung Niedersachsen' (media-consulting Lower Saxony).

That's only partially right. Meanwhile reality catches up with this =

situation, because so many teachers use internet-content, educational =

contents from broadcasting-stations (TV/radio), private sites and =

community-ressources and so on. And for Niedersachsen there's no =

solution in sight: It seems that there will be two universes with =

different contents: publishing-companies and more or less private =

content, which is intended to be bundled as Open Education Ressourcen =

(OER) and should or will become a part of the 'Merlin' =

Online-Ressources. On education trade fair Didacta2012 German =

schoolbook-publishers didn't arrive an agreement about =

schoolbook-distribution.

The NLQ (Official Institute for management of =

Schoolquality/Nieders=E4chsisches Landesinstitut f=FCr schulische =

Qualit=E4tsentwicklung) reviews school books only pro forma currently!

Again the question: Which file-format provides interactive, multimedia =

content independent from platform and is supported by KDE? The lack of =

an official standard could be filled with an open standard!

I hope to see some of you tomorrow@CeBit

Daniel
