Abstract

Digital textbooks come in many different forms such as read-on-demand computer-based textbooks, print-on-demand e-textbook, and curriculum-based electronic textbooks. This article is to explore the dimension and shape for the future of digital textbooks. We suggest some design strategies to develop digital textbooks for instructor-led classroom in the online and mobile age. The strategies are based on the principles of learning.
