12. Decision making proces - at the school
Administration
Teachers
Management
Students
Librarians
Management made the decision as part of obtaining strategic objectives
Focus on saving costs and allocating as many ressources as possible to activities with a teaching purpose - reduce administrative costs
Save money because the school did not have to handle books, Resources can be used for teaching instead..
Management: flatrate will make co-teaching and substitute teaching easier + support knowledge sharing
Students bring computer to school every day - digital material and tools are part of their everyday school life
Initiative to have a flatrate agreement may be taken from different stakeholders - teachers, Systime authors
Written papers for the teacher are written on computer - problem solving at the computer
Teachers: Danish tradition is that teachers decide for themselves which textbooks to use in the class - not necessarily the same across classes in the same subject at the same level
Teachers: critical because they will loose their self-determination with regard to the choice of text material

13. How it works - from a school perspective
4 schools 4 different addresses
100 classes
3.000 students
300 teachers
One key
no administration
no reservations
no distribution
no invoices
Experiences from nov 14 when the flatrate agreement was activated at AABC:
All students and teachers had all registered “My account” at Systime - so it was easy overnight to activate the flatrate
Students found out at first - and very very excited about it - in a history class working wih China’s history - the students started to speak Chinese … just for the fun of it, because they have found a textbook about the Chinese language
Complex administative precedures for reservation, registration and distribution of textbooks to students - needless on the morning when the flatrate was activated
Overwhelming and also confusing at the same time

14. Students and teachers Updated teaching materials
More than 250 interactive internet books
Students always bring all books
Notes are digital in the iBog®
Students: very positive reactions - in November when they work at their specialized study project - had a digital library - easy to get access to text books, study Italian, Chinese - any subject
Teachers: not all happy - training in class room management because computers get increasingly important, training and courses in the use of the iBog
Teachers: getting more and more positive because the number of interactive textbooks is very large - use of textbooks for other upper secondary ecucation programmes: not just textbooks aimed at business college but also for “Gymnasium” and technical college

15. Students and teachers Library at the student’s computer
