Maria Stakhiv

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.

In the context of the transition to the updated content of education, the development and implementation of electronic learning tools in computer science is becoming more relevant than ever. The lack of e-learning tools, developed in full accordance with modern requirements, a variety of software tools and shells to create them, requiring a developer of different levels of training in the use of software, has necessitated a more detailed review and analysis of the problem of development and implementation in the educational process by teachers author's e-learning products. The article identifies the main advantages and disadvantages of some software tools for the development of electronic textbooks. The ArticulateStoryline program is singled out as one of the most effective modern software tools for the development of electronic textbooks in secondary schools. А сomparative analysis of software is carried out on a number of criteria: simplicity and usability, available in ready-made templates, the ability to work with layers, create test items, an opportunity to build ready graphics, video and sound files, the possibility of placing on a single slide multi-page text. The features of the Articulate Storyline program are presented in more detail. The possibility of using this software tool is noted, both by an ordinary user through the use of ready-made templates, and by a more advanced professional through the capabilities of the built-in JavaScript programming language. The program features are presented on the example of the development of an electronic textbook on computer science for the 4th grade. The result of the implementation of the capabilities of the software tool was the development of an electronic textbook, which reflects such features of Articulate Storyline as the use of a set of ready-made characters, the ZoomPicture function, the insertion of video files, a variety of interactive tasks organized through the use of Hotspot slides and SequenceDrag-and-Drop. The electronic textbook provides independent cognitive activity of students, increasing the level of their motivation in learning, ensuring self-control.

In the article, the authors consider the role of a multimedia textbook in modern education. The priority national project "Education" is being implemented in Russia - the creation and implementation of modern electronic textbooks is one of the priority concepts in this project. Electronic publications enhance interactive features such as modeling, surveys, discussions, and additional multimedia materials. Advantages of electronic textbooks: mobility, large capacity of information; the ability to constantly update content, without purchasing a new textbook and financial expenses; level of visibility: you can only put text, illustrations, diagrams and graphs in a printed publication, but you can also put animation in an electronic publication, which is convenient for visual display of academic subjects. The electronic textbook provides more opportunities for learning within the existing programs, as well as for the development and optimization of the educational process.

Problem and goal. Despite a significant amount of work on the creation of electronic textbooks, interest in them does not wane. Currently, when developing them, it becomes necessary to take into account the features of the Z generation. The purpose of the study is a didactic analysis and description of the concept of transformer books and an inverted textbook. Methodology. The idea of creating such intellectual teaching aids is associated with the use of mental schemes of the subject area, hidden psychoanalysis of the perception type of the learner and the question-task form of training. The textbooks being designed provide for a change in the learning strategy (from the paradigm accumulating knowledge to solve problems to the paradigm solving problems by mastering the necessary knowledge). In this case, the educational model of the white box is used, which allows visualizing the dynamics of the acquisition by student the knowledge of the subject area. Results. A procedure for developing inverted textbooks and transformer books is proposed. Prototypes of such electronic tools when used in a real educational process have shown their high effectiveness in self-educational activities of students. Conclusion. The use of transformational and inverted electronic textbooks allows not only to automate the learning process without real contact with the teacher, but also contributes to a significant increase in the motivation of modern students to self-study.
