Nature, the folks who brought you the free life sciences learning community Scitable, are today announcing "Principles of Biology", a college level electronic textbook. Building upon the cross-platform success of Scitable, the new textbook offers a variety of fully interactive features, including quizzes and assessments, an online gradebook for instructors, and more. Perhaps most notable in this era of constant upgrades and in-app purchases is that this text will be continually updated with top-notch content from Nature's editing team at no additional cost to anyone who has purchased a copy. "Our interactive textbooks, since they are "born digital", are designed to capitalize to the maximum degree on the progressive possibilities which digital media opens up for the education space: new distribution models, new learning models, new pricing models. Our textbooks are designed to make students active rather than passive learners throughout the learning process," says Vikram Savkar, SVP & Publishing Director at Nature Publishing Group.
