The article deals with the effectiveness of electronic textbooks in Ukrainian schools, the understanding of the concept of «electronic textbook» in Ukrainian legislation governing publishing. The article analyses basic principles of creating electronic textbooks on three platform: Bristar, Розумники and MozaWeb. The problems of creating electronic textbooks for elementary school have been highlighted. The prospects for further research and the possibility of using electronic textbooks in the educational process have been described. It has been emphasized that the perception of the term «e-book» has changed. Previously, this term was understood as the device which the reading was carried out, now an e-book is a content that requires playback by individual devices. The multimedia educational publications created in the framework of the experiment of introducing the electronic textbook and the electronic platform and their compliance with the Regulations on the electronic textbook are analyzed. Summarizing our analysis, we can highlight that non-compliance with the Regulations has been identified, such as insufficient playback of products on different operating systems, non-unified design between parts of the publication that are interactive, and content of the print edition that created the electronic version. Some editions which are recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science are difficult to buy for later use, and some of them are only available in the demo version. Keywords: e-learning publication, e-textbook, New Ukrainian School, e-textbook, interactive textbook, multimedia content.

The development of electronic textbooks based on the technology presented by the author of the article and their subsequent application in the educational process will help to organize the educational and cognitive activities of students at a more effective level. Purpose is the description of the technology for the development of electronic textbooks, taking into account existing requirements. The article uses methods of analysis, synthesis and deduction. The analysis of requirements and principles of development of electronic textbooks is carried out on the basis of the descriptive-analytical method. The practical result of the proposed technology is the developed electronic textbook "Development of mobile applications". The results of the study, in addition to their theoretical significance, also have practical significance, which consists in the positive dynamics in resolving the contradiction between the continuously increasing flow of information and the limited opportunities of students to assimilate it. The conscious use of electronic textbooks in the educational process is one of the fundamental ways to improve the quality of education by changing the methods of teaching used in the direction of individualization and focus on the student.

The effectiveness of teaching in primary schools depends on the pupils’ active engagement. When teaching the pupils of today, different forms and methods have to be used to organise the learning process, rather than opting for the simple transfer of knowledge directly from teacher to pupil. Pupils today do not simply sit and listen to the teacher and answer his/her questions. They also discuss and relate what they are taught to their personal experiences. A number of studies show that a person absorbs different amounts of information when listening, watching, listening and watching, and actively participating. The pupils’ involvement during the different activities in the lesson varies. Their acquisition capacity is different when listening to a teacher’s explanations, reading, observing a demonstration, practicing or using a computer, multimedia and electronic resources. The electronic textbook (also known as e-textbook) is a teaching tool and a rich source of additional tasks and materials for pupils and teachers. Electronic textbooks are digitised versions of paper textbooks. Electronic textbooks can be used online or offline. Electronic versions contain additional materials, such as audio, video, animations, 3D visualisations and interactive tests, as well as hyperlinks to relevant websites. The electronic readable textbook is identical to the approved print edition of the textbook. The electronic readable textbook creates a realistic page-turning effect in PDF format. In Bulgaria, new mathematics learning sets were created for primary school classes in accordance with the new Preschool and School Education Act, which came into force from the 2016/2017 school year, and the modified curricula. An electronic textbook and an electronic readable textbook have been developed for each new textbook. E-textbooks are free of charge for teachers who have chosen to teach using the paper textbook of the relevant publisher. Pupils and parents can also access them after registering on the publisher’s website. The Ministry of Education and Science requires that publishers give parents and pupils free access to electronic readable textbooks.The main idea of this article is to present an analysis of the third grade mathematics textbook published by Anubis and the electronic resources it features (additional tasks and materials). The article will also include the opinions of pedagogical students collected in a survey of the use of electronic textbooks in teaching primary school pupils.

Changes in education contribute to its modernization and renewal. Along with new forms, methods and means of enriching the educational process, the well-known teaching methods using electronic textbooks also hold a positive trend. In the Tomsk Technical School of Railway Transport — branch of the Siberian Transport University electronic textbooks are widely used. The tendency of their application and implementation in educational activities, both with full-time and distance learning, gives good results. Because they use an electronic textbook created for everyone requirements. A plus is the fact that the electronic textbook is developed on the basis of the copyright material of the subject teacher, taking into account intrasubject and intersubject communications. Such development gives a number of advantages over the traditional print publication and allows to achieve higher levels of learning in comparison with traditional forms of training.For students of all specialties, the electronic textbook is an indispensable assistant in the development of disciplines, and for graduates of the specialty “Information Systems” such a textbook is also a good test of their knowledge, skills and competencies. Students of this specialty develop and create electronic textbooks for a technical school under the guidance of scientific advisers and subject teachers, from whom it was requested to present the training course in a multimedia form. as an example, we consider the features of the development, creation, implementation of an electronic textbook on the subject “Astronomy” in the educational process.
