Editora Moderna, part of Grupo Santillana, developed this project for its school collections in Brazil. Its educational offer combines student materials, teacher support and innovation across school stages and subject areas.
Digitalising the collections needed to preserve that diversity and enrich the printed-book experience. The commission covered 204 titles and versions for students and teachers, with multimedia and interactive resources to support learning.

The starting point
Moderna wanted to digitalise its collections across school stages and subjects, enriching the books with resources to complement paper-based learning.
The commission covered 204 books within six months. It required a pedagogical model, design adaptation for each collection and coordination between Netex in A Coruña, Santillana Global in Madrid and Moderna in Brazil.
Large-scale educational publishing
Printed school collections
204 books across different subjects needed digital adaptation within six months.
Enriched, updatable collections
Templates, multimedia resources and activities for students and teachers.
Design, production and coordination across three teams
Netex’s content production team, now presented as Netex Studio, organised the work into consultancy, design and production phases.
Consultancy with the editors
The project leads travelled to Brazil to understand Moderna’s needs and agree on the pedagogical, technical and design proposals.
Bespoke templates
The diversity of subjects and collections led to the development of 26 templates adapted to their needs.
Preparing the materials
Style guides were agreed and the original InDesign content was prepared, preserving its page references.
Pedagogical and visual adaptation
Text was organised and laid out for screen reading, incorporating images, video, audio and interactive activities.
Activities for language collections
The Log In, Esencial and Ventanita collections also involved scripting and instructional design for the activities.
Continuous validation
A review process helped identify and resolve issues during production and validate materials before delivery.
Production of 204 books coordinated between A Coruña, Madrid and Brazil, with content ready for the start of the school year.
What changed with the project
In six months, Netex delivered 204 books, digitalised more than 105,000 pages and incorporated over 4,000 audio, video and interactive resources. Delivery enabled Moderna to have the content ready for the start of the school year.
Materials included student and teacher versions, with additional classroom resources. A set of 26 templates enabled new content to be generated and existing content to be updated.
books digitised in six months
“204 books, with almost 106,000 pages and 2,000 digital objects, combined harmoniously to offer an innovative and didactic proposal to students and teachers in elementary schools in Brazil.”
“It has been quite a feat. There was little time and the amount of work was considerable. It was an original project because Santillana had never done this model before.”
