<p>A system and a method for creating virtual textbooks and other educational collections by assembling content sections from multiple online resources, and remunerating the authors for their contributions. The system allows curators to assemble online multimedia textbooks by selecting, cross- publishing and organizing content components from a) online collections crowdsourced from expert contributors or b) posted by textbook publishers for the purposes of re-mixing into new online educational resources. Students or other purchasers may then purchase these textbooks/educational resources directly, or they me be selected and customized by professors/teachers as required materials for their students for purchase when taking their course. Once a textbook/educational resource is purchased by a student, all stakeholders in the system (authors, contributors, curators, etc.) are automatically compensated for their contributions in accordance to their specified fee which is reflected as part of the final purchase price that purchasers pay.</p> |
