The first phase of the project includes converting over 350 academic books (approximately 27,500 pages) into fully-functional, interactive eBooks using EDUPUB, EPUB for Education (https://www.suntecindia.com/edupub-solutions-for-educational-publishing.html).
As part of the three year contract, SunTec will digitize K-12 books (https://www.suntecindia.com/pre-K-12-educational-solutions.html) to make learning more engrossing for the students with vivid graphics, videos and animations, and make assessments real-time & more interactive. Our teams of content developers, instructional and interactive designers, and programmers will leverage advanced mobile, web and graphic technologies using HTML5 and CSS3 (https://www.suntecindia.com/flash-html5-conversion-services.html) to build interactive and engaging digital books with features like text highlighting and audio narration to improve learners’ reading experience.
Features of the projected interactive eBooks, include:
- Multimedia elements such as sound effects, still images and graphics, short video and audio clips, animations and simulations
- Interactive diagrams, technical symbols & formulas, complex charts, illustrations, eFlashcards, etc.
- Clickable glossary terms, cross-references, footnotes and annotations

The interactive eBooks further undergo rigorous functionality tests to make sure that all links and interactivities work properly across all web and mobile platforms. To ensure that the users can easily access the eBooks on their preferred eReader, we will convert the academic content into fixed-layout KF8 for Amazon, ePub3 for Apple, Google, Kobo, Samsung & other Android devices, and PagePerfect PDF for B&N Nook. We will also perform cross-platform testing on all devices for user interface /user experience, accessibility as well as compliance.
