Wenn man davon ausgeht, dass Schulbücher bzw. schulbezogene Bildungsmedien generell neben Lehrplänen und noch unmittelbarer als diese die zentralen Steuerungsmittel des Unterrichts sind, also Inhalte und deren Vermittlung entscheidend mitbestimmen, liegt es nahe, sie auf dem Prüfstand sehen zu wollen. Aber: Wer stellt sie auf den Prüfstand? Wer ist berechtigt, dies zu tun? Und welches sind die Prüfkriterien? Ein Schwerpunkt dieses Bandes liegt auf staatlichen Zulassungsverfahren. Diese unterscheiden sich, nicht zuletzt nach Zustand der jeweiligen politischen Systeme, in ihrer Intention und ihrer Beschaffenheit deutlich voneinander. Ein weiterer Fokus gilt den Versuchen verschiedener gesellschaftlicher Gruppen, Schulbüchern ihre Legitimität abzusprechen oder selber Schulbücher (und zunehmend auch: Online-Lehrmittel) mit bestimmten Inhalten durchzusetzen, beispielsweise aus weltanschaulichen Gründen. Und schließlich enthält der Band auch einschlägige Beiträge, die aus (bildungs-) wissenschaftlicher Perspektive prüfen, inwieweit Schulbücher den aktuellen bildungspolitischen und didaktischen Trends der Umsetzung von Bildungsstandards und Kompetenzmodellen entsprechen.

Presented are two case studies covering the barriers to be overcome to fully automate the production workflow for Open Access multi-format books, to produce and distribute the following – ebook, print-on-demand, screen PDF, webbook, website, and an interoperable source. The first case study involves producing eight book sprints for training manuals, some with MOOC modules, for the Academy of Public Health in Dusseldorf (Germany) which was run as a research cooperation with the Open Science Lab, TIB – German National Library of Science and Technology. The second case study involves converting the existing reports of Independent SAGE (UK) – as Open Access, multi-format, enabling multi-channel distribution, and deposing in academic repositories. The indie_SAGE project involved creating a volunteer academic working group to carry out the work. Here it is important to add that I am acting as a private individual. The Independent Science Advisory Group for Emergencies (indie_SAGE) was formed in May 2020 by the former chief Scientific Adviser to the UK government Sir David King, quote, 'on how to minimise deaths and support Britain's recovery from the COVID-19 crisis'. The working group is newly formed and welcomes help and volunteers! ; A version of the presentation was also posted to TIB blog for Open Access week 2020 - https://blogs.tib.eu/wp/tib/2020/10/19/the-future-open-book/

The article focuses on one of the unknown aspect from the reform of A-Level courses, which took place during the second period of school massification. It highlights the determining role of the teachers in the implementation of educational policies and more particularly the range of options offered. Based on the example of the A-level Drama studies (Baccalaureat option Drama), and supported by an ethnographical survey carried on in the "Region" of Pays de la Loire (West side of France), the text shows that this new offer of options in school is not only promoted by The Authorities, but originates also from the important mobilisation of some teachers involved in activist and cultural spheres. This is the occasion to underline in what extent the success of a public action can lie on the use and appropriation of field people those who have practical experience.
