First prototype of a novel kind of digital education medium, a so-called "Digital Primer" (DP) or a "digitale Fibel" was presented to public at the Industry Day of Einstein Center Digital Future (ECDF) on 21st January 2020. Design, realization and optimization of a digital Primer is the main research & design project of Daniel D. Hromada, digital education juniorprofessor affiliated to both ECDF as well as to Faculty of Design of Berlin University of the Arts.
Distinctive innovations brought about by the DP's prototype 1 include, but are not restricted to:
- three e-paper displays (two major ones to create a book-like experience, third used for cover)
- voice & e-ink text synchronisation
- interaction mainly by means of gestures and offline automatic speech recognition systems
- A5 format
- first lesson of Bildung Digitale curriculum and first instance od Berliner Digitale Leseprobe
The aim of the DP project is to create new kind of medium which maximized positive aspects of digital education technologies (e.g. adaptive learning, qualitative evaluation, instantenous feedback) and minimizes the harmful ones (e.g. compulsive behaviour, addiction, privacy, cognitive security etc.)
