Do You Know about Kno? Talk about Remediation!

While no one was looking, someone revolutionized the textbook, higher education, and learning itself in one crazy, bold move.

Wanna see what a digital textbook looks like?

Then check out the Kno.

For a person like me who loves the digital world but still is enamored with the print world, the Kno looks so very cool. And it’s one of those tools that makes me think about remediation, too. I mean unlike the iPad (though it does remediate the idea of a pad), the Kno is heavily remediating the book, even down to its two screen design that opens and closes. While on one hand, I find this tool to be fascinating, I wonder if it’s a step back because it relies on that book design.

Just another thing for me to think about.

Learn more about the Kno on the company’s [website].
