CK12 Format Updates

Greetings CK-12 Community!

We have launched a new version of our FlexBooks System (Release 1.1.2). This is a significant milestone in our journey as it has the following flagship features:

• Print Preview from Editor
• Live Media Support to embed and view videos
• Integrated metadata for enhanced searching
• Symbol Editor for editing Math Symbols
• Anonymous PDF access (no need to sign in to view a PDF or a book)
• Search improvements (performance, highlighted text)

One big change you will notice is that we have switched to LaTex for our PDF generation, meaning that when you print your book you will notice a cleaner layout and better representation of charts, graphs and equations.

We have also upgraded the web farm to provide better performance for our users. Hence, our old system has been renamed as http://flexbooks-archives.ck12.org, until all 'valid' user generated content migration is complete.

Your user credentials will work the same way as before (same username and password combination), and you will be able to access the following books on http://www.ck12.org:

-Life Science
-Earth Science
-Biology I
-Engineering--An introduction for High School
-Engineering--Problem Solving with Matlab
-Basic Physics
-21st Century Physics Flexbook
-People's Physics Book
-Algebra I

If you were working from a FlexBook you do not see here, you can access it at http://flexbooks-archives.ck12.org We will be upgrading those books for release on http://www.ck12.org in the next month.

Any of your custom created personal FlexBooks you have been working on can be accessed at http://flexbooks-archives.ck12.org. If you would like to have them transferred to our upgraded system, please contact us at support@ck12.org. We find that working individually with users is the most effective way to prune and cleanup outdated content.

Please stay tuned. We have more performance improvements coming to catch the ones we missed this time around.

Thank you for being a part of our community and happy flexing!

-The CK-12 Team
