In South Korea are going to replace all paper books with electronic ones by 2015

In general, now some educational institutions in some countries declare their intention to replace paper books with electronic tablets, but such that the whole country was going to make such a replacement was not yet. But it will be if South Korea follows its plan, and consistently replaces paper with a number.

The government of this country is going to make a corresponding replacement by 2015, and spend about $ 2 billion on such modernization. Of course, the exchange program also requires a change in the way information is disseminated - after all, what's the use of electronic books if there are no teaching materials in electronic form, right? Therefore, a cloud-based information system will also be launched in South Korea, which will provide students with information.

According to the plan, the materials will be both plain text / pictures and multimedia, which, in some cases, seems to be better perceived by schoolchildren and students. It will be possible to use the distance learning system, obtaining the necessary information at home or even in another country.

Such a system of education really has its advantages, and paper books can be forgotten. There are more advantages, as far as can be judged, than minuses: this is the possibility of quick replacement of materials for students in the event of a change in the curriculum, and cheaper distribution of new materials, and much more. I wonder how much the new system will be more efficient than the old, traditional one.
