THE STRUCTURE OF THE ELECTRONIC TEXTBOOK

Electronic textbook - an automated training system. It includes didactic, methodical and background information on a subject, as well as software that enables comprehensive use them for self-production and control of knowledge.

The electronic textbook is a unit of teaching, organizational, and software and hardware tools that provide a comprehensive database of educational services. This complex helps students acquire self-knowledge, skills, together with the teacher, and without it.

There are many e-books, which are designed to educate. But not all of them are written correctly. At the heart of these books should be concrete structure. Content of textbooks, organized by means of hypertext, so must have the structure. The structure of the textbook and its content depends not only on the content of training, but also the form of training.

To represent the structure of the tutorial, you can use the analogy between traditional and e-learning tool.

1. The structure of the electronic textbook should be as simple as possible.

2. Need to structure the content of education at all levels, through visualization, modern graphics and animation.

3. The structure of the electronic textbook should include options for individual trajectories.

4. Рroblem form separate blocks of information.

5. Necessary to build material in the form of a semantic network

Modern pedagogy recommends the following structure of the electronic textbook:

- cover;

- title screen;

- table of contents;

- annotation;

- learning content;

- graphical representation of the teaching material;

- self-monitoring system and system of self-knowledge for students;

- means of contextual search;

- glossary of terms;

- reference system on the interface of the program;

- program management system.

In the design of the electronic textbook plays an important role creating the user interface. One version of the textbook interface is shown in Figure 1.

Electronic textbook solves the following problems:

- get information about the course and thematic focus of the subject;

- individually reviewed, study or repeat training, methodical, reference, information material;

- visualize on a computer screen all didactic material (scheme, drawings, table, graphics, text and others); 

- exercise self-control (with automated grading), receive recommendations for further study not learned the training topics;

- get information about the recommended educational, scientific and methodical literature;

- print designs and plans for teaching materials for all types of activities.

Thus, the electronic textbook with the correct structure allows significantly improve the quality of teaching and the development of new knowledge. Conceptually can be recommended for distance learning.
