- Abstract: As a teacher, have you ever felt that your textbook was not thorough or up-to-date? Do you have to use other resources, such as on-line resources, to teach your lessons? As a student, do you believe you can get current information from sources such as the internet rather than your textbook? The answer to these questions is usually a resounding yes. So what do school districts do? They spend millions of dollars every year to buy “current,” “up-to-date” textbooks.
CK12 believes we can do better. CK12, a non-profit organization launched in 2006, aims to reduce the cost of textbook materials for the K-12 market both in the US and worldwide. CK12 is developing a series of web-based middle school and high school adaptive textbooks - each termed a "FlexBook." These web-based FlexBooks will have unlimited flexibility and variability, allowing the user to focus on the materials appropriate for his or her class. CK12 intends to pioneer the generation and distribution of these high quality educational web texts.
The content generated by CK12 will both serve as source material for a student's learning and also provide an adaptive environment that scaffolds the learner's educational experience as he or she masters a standards-based body of knowledge.
Biology is a complete educational tool for the high school student. CK-12’s Biology delivers an overview in the life sciences for high school students, relating an understanding of the history, disciplines, tools, and modern techniques of science to the study of cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and human physiology. Together the 10 units of CK12 Biology have 40 chapters and over 120 lessons. These lessons, written by renowned experts in high school biological science education, are designed to address both state and national standards.
