The Korea government has recently announced "A Master Plan for Smart Education", including application of digital textbooks and composition of education system using cloud computing. Our education system in future circumstance, over the conventional e-learning methods, needs the smart education solutions which enable students to study and communicate on various types of devices. The ongoing government project related with the digital textbook has been performed as mid- and long-term goals, whereas PDF-based e-textbook project, similar to e-book model and, has been already completed for the short-term goal. For the purpose of improved future smart education circumstance, however, a specific strategy is required in the following areas: flexibility of format conversion and independency of original text sources among the multiple device platforms. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a standardization scheme for e-textbook format based on e-book structure. To do this, we survey trends in e-book technologies, and research on standardization of e-book format for digitalization of textbooks, based on the analysis of existing textbooks. Moreover, we produce an example e-book content using our proposed standard method. As a result, our approach can be applied to the future smart education circumstance, and we may say that it will be efficiently applicable to the long-term digital textbook project.

최근 주목을 받고 있는 디지털교과서를 위해 제안되었던 대부분의 연구 결과는 플래시 기반으로 구성되거나, 전용 클라이언트를 설치해야 하는 등 교과서의 본질에 충실하지 못한 문제를 가지고 있었다. 본 논문에서는 교과서의 본질에 충실하고, 학교에서는 물론이고 집에서도 사용 가능한 e-교과서 구현을 위해 전자책 표준 가운데 전 세계적으로 가장 널리 사용 중인 e-Pub 표준을 적용하고자 하였다. XML 기반의 e-Pub 표준 적용을 위해 초등학교 국어, 영어, 수학 교과서를 분석하였으며, 과목 별로 상이한 구조 표현을 위해 최소한의 요소(element)를 정의함으로써, 저자 별, 과목 별 구조적 특성을 자유롭게 반영할 수 있도록 하였다.

Recent technological advancements, along with an increase in mobile Internet access, have spurred on significant developments in the production of e-textbooks. This case study explored the affordances of an iPad e-textbook through teacher and student experiences in English lessons using observation and interviews. The results showed that English learners and teacher benefited from handy and quick web access and the all-in-one features of the e-textbook (dictionary, hyperlinks, and note-taking functions). However, information oversupply by the e-textbook confused students' learning and both students and teacher pointed out technical difficulties in using the e-textbook. In order to implement English pedagogy with technologies such as iPad e-textbooks, teachers should be equipped with the relevant technical skills and content knowledge in order to assist them in becoming autonomous learners in the digital classroom.

디지털 교과서 상용화 시범 사업은 다양한 학습 지원 도구들과 사회 각 분야의 최신정보, 지식DB등을 활용하여 교실에서 참여형 학습을 실행할 수 있는 사업이다. 현재 디지털 교과서는 유통되고 있는 페이지 단위의 e-book형태가 아닌 확장 가능 구조로 개발되어 있어, 기존의 e-book 단말기나 e-book reader 프로그램에 바로 적용할 수 없다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 디지털 교과서 단말기의 요구 사항과 기존 단말기의 구현기능을 분석하여, 개선된 단말기의 기능과 규격을 제시하고, 이를 활용할 수 있는 교실 교육 환경을 제안한다.

정보 사회의 급속적인 발달로 인해 컴퓨터 교과가 독자적인 교과로 채택되어야 하는 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 현재 사용하고 있는 초등학교 컴퓨터 교과서는 기능위주의 교과서로 구성되어 있어서 독립교과로서의 컴퓨터 교과서로는 사용하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 고에서는 독립교과로서의 컴퓨터 교과서의 새로운 단원 구조를 제시해보고 그 예시안을 제안하며, 컴퓨터 교과서의 형태 측면에서 보조교과서의 형태 방향과 e-textbook의 형태 방향을 제안하였다.

In electronic textbooks (or e-Textbooks) the traditional paper-based textbooks are enriched with multimedia contents and new features such as interactive multimedia-based simulation, interactive quizzes, and content sharing. It has been envisioned that e-Textbooks will gradually replace the traditional paper-based textbooks in classrooms in the near future. HTML5 is an emerging and promising standard that enables web applications (or apps) to incorporate rich multimedia contents such as video clips, flash movies and simulation-based demonstration, as well as to provide cross-platform functionality which allows the apps to run on a diverse range of platforms. To support rich multimedia contents and cross-platform functionality, with respect to HTML5, this paper presents the new features, compares the current trend of mobile apps (e.g., native, web-based and hybrid apps) for e-Textbook development. In order to investigate the suitability of these three development approaches for e-Textbooks, we present a case study on our recent work in developing e-Textbooks using HTML5 and JavaScript, as well as analyses the challenges associated with HTML5 features (e.g, compatibility with web browsers) for developing e-Textbooks.

As online classes started in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the use of online content in classes such as e-books, Google tools, and videos has increased. Accordingly, the need for textbooks made by teachers is emerging so that students can learn effectively even in an online environment. In addition, as online classes and student-participatory classes using various online contents expand, teachers are actively using online content-using textbooks as well as book-type textbooks. In other words, it is a time not only to prepare for online classes, but to establish the concept of online textbooks and to think about the system and direction of current textbooks in order to transform into a future education system. Therefore, in this paper, the basic data for establishing the concept of online content utilization textbooks that are currently being introduced have been analyzed and theoretical contents for the development direction of future textbooks to be developed in the future are explored.

The 4th industrial revolution is coming. In order to prepare for the new learning environment with it, we may need digital mathematics textbooks that fully utilize all possible technologies. So various attempts have been made in elementary and middle school mathematics education. However, despite the importance of higher mathematics, we haven't seen a best possible math digital textbooks yet in Korea. In this paper, we introduce our new model of interactive math digital textbook about Linear Algebra/ Calculus/ Differential Equations/ Statistics/ Engineering Math. Especially, this manuscript focuses on our experience of using digital contents and interactive labs for developing a new model for linear algebra digital textbook. We introduce our works on linear algebra digital textbooks which include pdf e-book, web contents, video clips of lectures, interactive lab. Using this linear algebra digital textbook, students can freely use any mobile devices to access diverse learning materials, lessons, and hands-on exercises without any limitations. Also, times saved in the computation, coding, and typing process can be used to have more discussions for deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. This type of linear algebra digital textbook, which contains all interactive free cyber-lab with codes and all lectures for each sections, can be considered as a new model for the next generation of math digital textbook.

본 연구에서는 제7차 교육과정에 의하여 발행된 수학I 교과서의 통계단원에 수록된 ICT 소재에 대하여 활용성 및 접근용이성의 측면에서 분석하였다. 즉 각 교과서에 소개된 모든 컴퓨터 프로그램을 실행 시켜 보았으며 그 내용 및 활용의 용이성을 분석하고 소개된 사이트의 폐쇄 여부와 학생들의 활용 가능성에 관하여 조사하였다. 이와 같은 교과서의 비교분석을 통하여 통계 단원의 보완점을 모색하고, 교육현장에서 기본 자료로서 활용하도록 하였다.
