Papyrus e-book concept gives students what they like

Papyrus e-book concept is a revolutionary thought, aiming to introduce technology into the classrooms in a never before seen way. It is envisioned as a digital replacement for textbooks and notebooks. It is a 'catalyst for discussion about improving the classroom experience for everybody involved.' Papyrus e-book is radical solution that seeks to make use of students’ ever-growing familiarity with networking-sites’ environment and incorporate it in their classrooms. In its form and specs, Papyrus e-book reader emulates a normal tablet PC or PDA, but it strips down a number of features to make the device more accessible to students. The designer believes that the device could be made for as less as 100 dollars, which would make it more convenient for the target users. Papyrus e-book is proposed with a battery life of around 30 hours since it employs an E-Ink screen. The simplicity of the design and interface makes it equally suited for the students as for the faculty itself.

With some sort of networking capabilities, Papyrus will enable greater and better collaboration between students and teachers. Also manufacturers stand to gain from the subscription-based services as well the fact that regular upadation would greatly reduce the need for printing new editions.

It is quite obvious that with features such as proposed, Papyrus e-book will remain a concept for some time to come. However, as a tool for improved communication and collaboration within the classrooms it does seem to be the way to go.
