My description of an eTextbook I plan on creating.

1. ETEXTBOOK PRESENTATION

2. THE ETEXTBOOK SHOULD HAVE:
 Clear layout
 Hyperlinked references
 Interactive activities
 Contextualized activities
 Photos, video and audio to support the text
 Virtual realia

3. CLEAR LAYOUT AND HYPERLINKED
REFERENCES
 The eTextbook should have a clear layout and
hyperlinked references to help the students navigate
easily and not get distracted by unnecessary content.

4. INTERACTIVE AND CONTEXTUALIZED
ACTIVITIES
 The eTextbook should have interactive and
contextualized activities.
 Activities need to be interactive to facilitate learning,
promote thinking and overall engage the student.
 Activities need to be contextualized because learners
tend to memorize new things easier if they have an
image of a particular situation related to their lives where
they can apply the new knowledge. It will also give them
motivation and a clear purpose of learning.

5. PHOTOS, VIDEOS, AUDIO AND VIRTUAL REALIA
 Multimedia and virtual realia have the potential to
engage the student, put the new information in a context
and give them an opportunity to practice using what they
have learned in a safe environment.
