ADB is a transformative blend of mobile technology, experiential analytics, and rich media, delivered through interactive eBook technology. ADB is grounded in learning theory and intended to serve as the next generation educational platform for learners on the go.
We are committed to the concept of the ADB as a reference model based solely on open standards. These include the IDPF EPUB 3 specification, HTML5, Bluetooth, xAPI, and W3C packaging standards for scripting, rich media, and interactive content.
Our 2017 mission is to continue to expand awareness of our efforts through direct outreach, presentations and authoring. We invite participation of individuals and organizations working in fields related to educational content design, production, and delivery to help us continue these ongoing activities.
The IEEE Standards Association ADB activities include:
- Enhancement of analytics, personalization, sensors and content design tools
- Development of new standards that may emerge from this reference model
- Expansion of the ADB architecture, including vendors and subject matter experts to develop fully functional ADB prototypes
- Securing involvement of eLearning and xAPI industry partners to formalize development of the architecture
ADB participants, spanning 6 continents are currently involved in many aspects of adopting mobile devices for learning delivery. The Actionable Data Book (ADB) will help enable the delivery of instructions on mobile devices that will change educational publishing.
