Abstract

Textbooks are increasingly moving into the digital realm, which presents an opportunity for them to evolve from providing the reader with a static, linear experience, into an interactive application that can adapt to a student as well as to specific learning goals. As a step in this direction, we present Inquire: Biology, an electronic textbook that provides question-answering capability.
