RE: EPUB for Education JavaScript API

Hi,

 

If we have folks that track what IMS Global is doing, it would be interesting to get that on our radar. 

 

Best

George

Let’s not lose track of this! I’ve long suspected that there may be implementations of past (or even paused-but-current) work that we’re not aware of, and that we don’t have good ways of finding out about.—Bill

My best guess would be no, at least for the reasonably near future part. There were a number of IDPF specs that didn't get finished before the merger, edupub being one of them, and it's not clear which, if any, will be taken up again. There were discussions about decomposing edupub into smaller parts, but not sure what became of that.

A question for the ongoing charter discussions.

Matt

Hello, I am looking at the EPUB for Education JavaScript API at https://w3c.github.io/publ-cg/education/epub-education.html#javascript-apis. 


I use an earlier (and slightly different) version of the API with great 
success in VitalSource EPUBs, and am building tools to help with the 
development of new interactive exercise types.

Does anyone know if the API, as described in the draft spec, is likely 
to be standardized in the reasonably near future?

Thanks,

Cay
