Editing ePub3 for Blended Learning in Mathematics

Abstract

The main goal of this work is to present the method designed and put into practice by the Department of Mathematics at I.E.S Norba Caesarina for creating digital books (e-books) in EPUB 3 format, including videos and MathML. The natural way of generating the XHTML code for creating the EPUB 3 is to use LaTex for editing the final text, transforming it into XHTML. We also show how can reproduce in EPUB 3, external videos stored in YouTube; how generate SVG images from GeoGebra and implement questionnaires in EPUB 3 without JavaScript knowledge, preserving the accessibility associated with MathML equations.
