Technical aspects
[edit]How does this work? Books are offered as a variety of texts to suit different reading levels. However how are these texts generated? Do editors take a pre-existing high-level text from outside, then manually copyedit it to form a whole new text? Or is this process automated in some way? Is the text treated as one human-readable piece, and the computers don't look within it – or does the text get split into "chunks", each chunk annotated or edited as needs be, then re-combined automatically? (I worked on a similar such system myself, as part of a wildlife encyclopedia around 2000.)
What's the process for adding a new text to their library?
Is this primarily / solely a publishing system (concerned with making the texts available) or a learning management system (tracking who reads what)? Andy Dingley (talk) 10:41, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
