关于电子教科书的争议、正确理解与科学使用

Discussion on the “Advantages and Disadvantages” of Electronic Textbooks

关于电子教科书的争论从未停止过,是与非的简单价值判断比较容易做到。但最为重要的是客观、冷静和科学地认识电子教科书,而不是在把纸质教科书作为简单数字化的刻板印象的前提下进行讨论。应该从电子教科书构成的基本要素,即硬件、软件、内容、网络和使用者的角度去理解其便利与限度,从而更好地为学习者提供一种优质的电子教科书服务。但也要清楚,过分追求学习工具的便利性,而忽视其教育性,也不是一件好事情。

Debating on the electronic textbooks has never really stopped. It is very easy to make simple value judgments. But what is more important is the thorough understanding of electronic textbooks objectively, calmly and scientifically, rather than just treating electronic textbooks as the digital form of traditional print textbooks. Only when we try our best to understand the convenience and limits of electronic textbooks from the aspects of basic elements such as hardware, software, content, network and users, could we provide quality services based on electronic textbooks. At the same time, we should clearly know that it is also not a good thing to pursue electronic textbooks＇convenience excessively and neglect the instructiveness.
