This paper presents a discussion about how to transform Physics’ educational documents from printed-support to digital-support. We have not only looked at the technical features of a digital document, but we have also taken into account how students learn and which specificities of Physics must be faced in the process.

This paper describes how digital talking books (DTBs) with embedded functionality for learners can be generated from content structured according to the OU OpenLearn schema. It includes examples showing how a software transformation developed from open source components can be used to remix OpenLearn content, and discusses issues concerning the generation of synthesised speech for educational p...
