It is known that textbooks and teaching aids, as well as other teaching aids play an important role in improving the quality of education. Existing traditional textbooks based on print media are no longer sufficient to achieve the informational goals associated with the application of information technology in education. Therefore, the creation of new electronic resources and their implementation in the educational process has become an urgent problem of informatization of education. In this regard, the creation of e-textbooks and their use in the educational process is of great importance.

Quality of education is a benchmark for achieving national education standards. Changes in the world of education in the era of disruptive innovation require a quality education system and fulfill the feasibility of achieving the wishes of the community. This study used big data analysis techniques from Google Trends database for the 2014-2018 period that focused on the Indonesian region. The results of the study showed that the community doesn’t understand the quality of education, accreditation, and its relevance. The community has also not been involved by the educational institution, in the process of meeting the Indonesian national education standards. The instrument of accreditation of educational institutions should be more focused on: (1) performance of the educational institutions development; (2) evaluation of the innovation of the educational process carried out by an educational institution; (3) accountability, effectiveness, and practicality of learning processes by the educational institutions; and (4) curriculum development, learning outcomes, and assessment systems used by the educational institutions.
