Program Chair, Secondary Education; Associate Professor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/23/2021 "ActiveTextbook - Interactive Digital Texts" 4/5 What do you like best about ActiveTextbook? ActiveTextbook provides a mostly intuitive system to create living and dynamic text experiences. I'm most intrigued by the ability to collectively comment as a class on the text, although this feature seems somewhat limited. That said, this tool has a good variety of annotations and ability to add photo and video that could be very useful in a number of educational settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ActiveTextbook? The biggest letdown was the lack of true comment 'threading' on texts - you can certainly click into a comment and see the replies, but replies do not thread which limits meaningful conversation and tracking of comments that are any longer than a few words. Overall, i'm also somewhat concerned about the cognitive load students will have to manage with so many options on a page - keeping things minimal and aligned to your learning objectives will be a crucial component to using this product well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ActiveTextbook: Active Textbook provides a powerful tool if leveraged well. That said, without careful consideration to the tasks that students will need to demonstrate achievement of your learning goals, it may become a distraction. This is certainly true for any tool in ed tech, but one worth carefully examining here - just because you "can," doesn't mean you "should." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ActiveTextbook solving and how is that benefiting you? Assessing learning for online reading can be tough, so the commenting and annotation options provide one way students can demonstrate they've been engaging with the text. This only really works well with quality prompts and student training, but given those proper structures this tool can really elevate the way students pay careful attention to a text.
