Outline of Final Research Achievements

The researchers proposed the use of bottom-up oriented digital textbooks, followed by experiments at several universities. The target academic subjects of the experiments varied from information, and language, to areas of physics. Teaching styles observed included lectures, seminars, and flipped classrooms. Additionally, in some classes digital tablets were given to each student. In other classes, students brought their own devices to deal with the digital textbooks. Data showed the importance of interactive factors such as images, sound, and videos in the digital textbooks. Through the experiments, LMS-linked study with digital textbooks proved useful and effective. Those involved evaluated these digital-textbooks as an effective way to help students learn.
