The starting point
Cambridge University Press, in partnership with Discovery Education, wanted to transform printed materials into a new digital collection for primary and secondary English language learning.
The challenge was to enrich the readers with multimedia resources and activities while retaining the original structure and Cambridge’s quality standards.
From reading to interactive exploration
A printed collection
Cambridge and Discovery Education wanted to enrich the readers while preserving their structure and standards.
Interactive digital readers
Video, audio, illustrations and self-assessment activities support English language learning.
Production combining editorial expertise and digital learning
Netex’s content production team, a service now presented as Netex Studio, worked with Cambridge to adapt the collection to a digital environment.
Pedagogical analysis
Printed materials were reviewed with Cambridge to define their digital adaptation and the production guidelines.
Enriched readers
Chapters retained the original structure while incorporating educational videos, audio summaries and illustrations.
Self-assessment activities
Interactive exercises enabled students to practise and check their knowledge independently.
Production and quality review
Each unit was built according to the agreed guidelines and reviewed before delivery to Cambridge for distribution.
What changed with the project
Netex delivered around 100 digital titles in the Cambridge Discovery Interactive Readers collection. The readers combined video, audio, illustrations and self-assessment activities to support independent learning.
Once production was complete, Cambridge began commercialisation. The collection was prepared for use on computers and tablets, with online and app-based distribution planned within the project.
