Going Digital: Literature Review on E-textbooks

摘要

Digitising textbooks is becoming an increasingly important practice in formal education. While higher education has been the main focus of research on e-textbooks so far, the topic is also gaining attention in other areas of formal education. This paper reports on an initial attempt to review and synthesise research and development literature on e-textbooks - mainly in the context of K-12 education. While the project is still work in progress, some provisional findings, main demarcation lines, and visible directions in the field are reported and discussed.
