It explains why EPUB matters, the functional capabilities that affect reading experiences, and how features support assistive technology and accessibility needs. The guide addresses adoption considerations for classrooms, districts, and students, includes case-study and implementation perspectives, and covers learner experiences across common devices. It also provides guidance on creating EPUB and coordinating systems for accessible material delivery.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/a-practical-guide-for-using-epub-in-k12-teaching-learning/585827/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/a-practical-guide-for-using-epub-in-k12-teaching-learning/585827.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Riley West","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Why does the guide recommend using EPUB for K–12 teaching and learning?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"It highlights the flexible EPUB format compared with rigid PDF workflows, and emphasizes how EPUB supports modern digital reading experiences and accessibility needs for students, including those using assistive technology.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What key functional capabilities does the guide cover?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The contents include reading and multimedia support, braille, mathematics, and how EPUB content interacts with learning management systems.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How does the guide support educators who want to implement and create EPUB materials?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"It recommends the guide for administrators, IT professionals, and teachers, and includes sections on creating EPUB, using NIMAS and accessible EPUB, and establishing coordinated systems for providing accessible materials.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},585827,1792232076,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":29,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":36,"preview_page_count":4},1099523885074,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","A Practical Guide for Using EPUB in K–12 Teaching & Learning  \nBy the National AEM Center, DAISY Consortium, and Bookshare  \nPublished: May, 2023  \nThe contents of this document were developed under a cooperative agreement with the US Department of Education, \\#H327Z190004 .
