Interactive and Accessible? A First Insight into the Analysis of Digital Textbooks with regard to their Current Development Status

Research article in edited proceedings (conference) | Peer reviewedAbstract
This study examines the state of the art of digital mathematics textbooks, focusing on the implementation of interactivity and customisation options as key features of modern digital textbooks. This is done in the context of accessibility, which is regulated in the European Union for digital textbooks and can be beneficial for all students in the context of Universal Design for Learning. In a first step, the most up-to-date digital textbooks used in Germany in the 7th grade are examined. The study shows a discrepancy between potential digital improvements and their actual implementation. There are only a few interactive visualisations and task formats in the digital textbooks and hardly any individual customisation options, which are particularly relevant for accessibility.
