چکیده
The VTEXT framework is designed to provide many of the desired features of an etextbook in such a way that it provides pedagogical value rather than just convenience for students. Many so-called e-textbook solutions available today provide few features beyond those possible with hardcopy textbooks.

The add-in provides features which facilitate the use of OneNote as a reader and as an educational tool while leaving in place OneNote’s strengths in note-taking, collaboration, and search.
