This paper mentioned the necessity of developing digital textbooks for university Chinese subjects and presented digital textbook types and development plans suitable for university Chinese subjects based on the cases and characteristics of digital textbooks.
Digital textbooks refer to textbooks developed to enable learning based on digital devices, including related digital learning materials and learning support functions, in addition to existing e-books. Representative examples of digital textbooks used in Korea can be seen as digital textbooks currently used in elementary, middle, and high schools. The development and use of digital textbooks in elementary and secondary education is a global trend, and the digitization of elementary and secondary education textbooks is expected to cause the digitization of university textbooks in the near future.
Except for digital textbooks in elementary, middle, and high schools, digital textbooks are largely divided into two types. There is a method of requesting the production of digital textbooks to a developer based on book-type textbooks, and a method of making digital textbooks directly by instructors through an online platform. In the case of classes where the instructor’s subject continuity is guaranteed, the number of students or classes is small, and all students can use digital textbooks, the instructor can directly create digital textbooks suitable for the subject through the platform and provide them to students. On the other hand, if the continuity of the instructor’s subject is not guaranteed and several classes are taught with the same textbook, it is safe and efficient to use digital textbooks provided by developers based on book-type textbooks. For each Chinese subject at each university, it is necessary to select a development type suitable for the characteristics of each subject.
