BookBites
BookBites is a digital school library and motivational reading app.
BookBites is an innovative reading app that increases motivation and fully transforms the reading experience. The app is developed with a focus on students and teachers in primary and lower secondary school to help students getting better readers, increase their ability to become educated, and in the end getting a better life. To encourage the joy of reading we explore the opportunities of digitisation. With the two-dimensional standard e-book, it’s difficult to keep track of what has been read - the reading experience lacks tactility and emphasis on reader-friendliness. BookBites introduces the advantages of physical books in a digital context to create a strong digital reading experience. All books are divided into time-based segment. These bites are determined intelligently by the app. By gathering meaningful, personalized data each reader is provided with unique insight into one's own progress. The teacher also get continuous and precise insight into the students' reading skills.
