5 ways to
make
Textbooks
relevant in a
Digital World
The textbook is ubiquitous whenever we talk about education. The printed textbook has been
playing a stellar role in the entire gamut of education across the length and breadth of the world for
centuries. With the proliferation of technology and unprecedented digital access, do printed
textbooks hold the same amount of importance in learning?
According to the New York Times, while discussing the future of Digital textbooks, the relevant
question that hovers in people's minds is the relevance of textbooks in the digital world, considering
there are free online resources that are now easily available. Even the most underdeveloped
countries embrace digital textbooks. Hence, Online Textbook Solutions emerge as a new avatar in
education.
The extensive foray into digital textbooks challenges the conventional practice of textbooks. Should
the emerging digital textbook replace printed textbooks? Are educational establishments in
developing countries tending more toward digital assets to enhance learning? Since free resources
are abundant, should the Government stop spending money on textbooks?
The answers to these questions above do not depend on the binary; rather, it depends on the
context of developing countries, including digital availability, infrastructure, and capacity. Even
though developing countries quickly catch up with the trend, the old gracious physical textbook
importance cannot dwarf.
In the digital generation, digital learning materials are almost part and parcel. However, it is just as
vital that it can bolster by the next-generation physical textbook that upticks and guides their
consequence.
Ways to Build Textbooks Relevant In the Digital Generation
Policymakers can take a strong initiative to deliver textbooks perfected with digital learning to
bolster students' performance in developing countries.
Develop Textbooks in Real-time that Help Easy Navigating Curriculum
There is no doubt that textbook is the bedrock of education that renders a roadmap for learning
attainment. According to the Study, getting good marks on the part of the students depends on
relevant and quality textbooks.
However, the rapid change is
documented as a wake-up call for
developing countries to ensure that the
textbook is quick to update and
relevant to match the changing
dynamics of time in terms of skill and
knowledge moving forward
Healthy Blending of Digital Assets
and Printed Textbook
It is interesting to note that the Republic
of Korea desires to go fully digital. In the
US, the states of Texas and California
prefer to have digital books yet go fully
digital.
However, developing countries, notwithstanding the simmering challenges in the direction of teachers,
classrooms, and toilet facilities, can and should develop blended simulation, videos, and multimedia
elements embedded in the textbook to satisfy the learning requirements of the digital generation students.
The force behind digital resources lies in revolutionizing how learners are taught to make learning more
engaging by being self-paced, interactive, and personalized.
Opportunity for the Teacher to Go Behind the Textbooks
There are plenty of resources and tools in the digital era. The role played by the teacher in the digital
landscape is mentor instead of just the provider of knowledge. It documents that next-generation
textbooks endorse independent and project-related study warrant teachers who are innovative and
proactive.
For example, in Nepal, where you can find that some organizations are developing online materials for
imparting training on math, science, and English in educational establishments, and the basic tenant is
that teachers are adept at using e-content effectively.
Bhutan and Sri Lanka, an educational organization,
has taken the initiative in the form of adaptive
learning customized to suit the learning needs of
diverse students. Teachers use the tool to assist
students in different phases of learning to have a
good grip on the concepts being taught through
independent Study.
Invest in Both Digital Assets and Next Generation
Textbooks
Some opine that free online resources are aplenty.
However, the reality is just the opposite. To redefine
the outlandish textbooks, the Government should
invest substantially in making newer textbooks that
are flexible in navigating and pertinent in the realm
of the digital landscape that can perfectly align with
their digital brethren. Government should discard
textbooks and, in this process, saves money.
Last but not least, it continues to have quality textbooks and more digital learning tools and
resources, and regarding this Government should invest more in it.
Sound Connectivity for Schools to Optimize Online Learning
Better connectivity is an important consideration. It opens up a great leeway for e-Learning
and e-library platforms to update textbooks and supplement them with creative teaching
methods and the latest educational trends.
The role of the textbook is even more vital in the digital platform. Digital resources can help
you access many open resources and online materials to achieve learning objectives.
Crazy For Study is considered one of the leading online academic solution providers. CFS
provides fantastic academic solutions to diverse audiences across the length and breadth of
the globe. If homes an astounding 50 million Textbook Solutions. Moreover, students can
access it by paying nominal fees.
Final Words
We must repackage an innovative policy and practice that aligns perfectly with
the digital era. If done corrtextbook ectly, we can integrate a textbook with
digital resources and technology tools effectively, leading to enhanced student
learning.
Thank you!
