Abstract

The term e-textbook has not been defined either in Slovenia or elsewhere so far. This document presents the definition of basic characteristics of the content, didactical, technically useful and organizational aspect of an e-textbook creation, mostly based on experiences and good practice. Literature and other digital media mostly refer to e-textbook as a textbook in the form of an e-book, which is defined as a digital equivalent to the printed version. Most e-books and textbooks in digital form only take the advantage of digital media in portability and digital recording. Audio and video recordings are included in a small range of existing e-books, as the addition of quality and content appropriate sound and video to written context requires high level of technical and didactical knowledge. Priceless and for e-textbook the most characteristic added value are for sure the interactive elements.
