eTextbook+Summer+Institute+Outline

Assumptions Propositions Logistics Questions
 * 1) The tools for creating eTextbooks are becoming more accessible
 * 2) There is a growing interest in teachers creating their own texts using these tools
 * 3) People are likely already exploring these projects in isolation
 * 1) What if we could bring technologists and teachers together to explore and learn the tools and techniques, share expertise and subject knowledge, and begin to create real collaborative eTexts that could be shared.
 * 2) The work could be distributed, potentially resulting in better, faster ePublication of these books.
 * 1) Group of interested educators and technologists meet face-to-face for 3 days at Carey Conference Center []
 * 2) Cost to schools would be room/board ($450 all inclusive) plus transportation
 * 3) Over the 3 days, work groups would plan, design, and begin to create eTexts
 * 1) Who would come
 * 2) Who would organize the groups and the work
 * 3) Who would organize timelines, eBook distribution etc.
 * 4) Should there be a preliminary meeting of a planning task force to craft what the eText workdays would look like and to iron our issues of leadership, timeline etc.?
