Frequently Asked Questions by K12 Publishers

The platform provides multiple enrichment options (20+ widgets) such as audio, video, images, web links, glossary, vocabulary, text-to-speech, read aloud, and various assessments (MCQ, true/false, fill-in-the-blanks, match the pairs). Users can also personalize content through annotations, highlighting, and scribbling with a pen

In terms of consumption and viewing features, the experience is largely the same for both roles. However, the teacher role has additional options, such as the ability to grade assessments and access holistic analytics reports.

The student receives their score (if automatically graded). The data then goes to the instructor, who can review and grade written answers. Teachers can view performance reports for individual students and see rolled-up assessment values for the entire class.

Yes, users can collaborate. Students can create notes, highlights, and bookmarks and share them peer-to-peer or with teachers, and vice versa.

The platform provides granular analytics, allowing publishers to view activated users, content licenses distributed/used, top 10 active customers, most popular titles, content coverage, user interaction (notes, highlights, bookmarks), usage by device (desktop/tablet/mobile), and usage by geography.

The publisher can restrict printing. Pages can be selectively marked to allow printing (indicated by a print icon), while others cannot be printed.

No, that option is not currently available.

KITABOO Studio supports content creation from multiple formats including PPT, PDF, Word Docs, EPUBs, HTML, and SCORM-based content. InDesign files are also mentioned as a source format.

Both are possible. For fixed layout EPUBs, users typically upload files (PDF, PPT) for conversion. Reflowable EPUBs can be authored completely on the platform itself or uploaded if already created externally.

Fixed layout EPUBs are more static; they maintain their appearance and structure even if the screen is resized. Reflowable EPUBs resize and are responsive to the screen, supporting features like adjustable fonts, alignment, and reading modes.

Yes, you can upload audio files and link them to a specific point in the book to be played when the user clicks on the corresponding icon.

There is an option for computer-generated voices (male/female, various accents). Additionally, the platform supports audio synchronization, allowing clients to provide pre-recorded audio which is then matched and synchronized with the text highlighting.

Yes, the platform includes a K.AI (KITABOO AI) feature. Users can select a book or chapter, specify the grade and complexity level (basic, intermediate, advanced), and the AI will automatically generate various assessments (MCQ, flashcards, summary) based on the chosen content in seconds.

Yes, the content is DRM protected (128-bit encryption). Unauthorized access, copy/paste, and sharing are prevented. On mobile applications, the screenshot feature is disabled to prevent content snippets from being captured.

The content is hosted on AWS cloud. The books are not stored on the end user's device storage (like a personal folder) but rather on the platform storage itself.

Yes, the platform is WCAG 2.2 AA compliant, supporting all readers regardless of their abilities, including students with dyslexia or other reading disabilities.

Yes, the platform is GDPR ready (compliant).

For product-related issues (platform), KITABOO offers 24/7 customer support. A dedicated project manager handles issues via a ticketing tool (Basecamp). Content-related issues are handled by the publisher.

The publisher purchases the software/platform licence. The publisher uses the Studio to upload and manage the content, and assigns licenses to end users, schools, or districts.

The platform (reader interface, web portal, mobile applications) is completely rebranded with the publisher's logo, colors, and guidelines, often under a subdomain. End users (students/teachers/districts) will only see the publisher's name (e.g., Great Minds, McGraw Hill) and will not see "KITABOO".

Yes, the platform supports B2B (schools/institutes), B2C (individual sales), and B2G (government contracts). It can handle institutional sales with bulk licenses (access codes).

Currently, teachers cannot submit answers on behalf of a student. The assumption is that this feature would require customization for that specific need.

Yes, the platform can aggregate content from different publishers.

Yes, the platform can be seamlessly integrated with an LMS (like Google Classroom, Moodle, Canvas) provided the LMS is LTI compliant (version 1.1 or 1.3).

KITABOO supports integration with standard rostering systems and SSO technologies, specifically mentioning SAML 2.0.

Yes, integration is possible through APIs and webhooks. This integration automates the process: when a user purchases a book on the client's website, they automatically receive login credentials to access the book on the KITABOO reader interface.

No, it is optional. Without integration, books can still be assigned, but it requires a manual process (the publisher receives the request and manually assigns access codes).

Yes, you can download the converted EPUB file and upload it elsewhere. However, once the file is downloaded, it will not retain the DRM protection, encryption, or embedded KITABOO interactivities.
