　　數位科技改變資訊載體（device）及資訊傳播的方式，影響所及，也對中小學教科書的形式與運用造成衝擊，並造成中小學教學與學習典範轉移（paradigm shift）。面對內容及功能越趨繁複之數位教科書，需透過介面清楚、操作功能適切的網路平臺呈現，以提供使用者檢索與利用的便利與實用性。本研究目的在：
1.分析國外數位教科書平臺之現況、內容特性，以及提供之服務與功能；
2.探討與評估數位教科書平臺之介面設計。研究方法採內容分析法（Content Analysis）與可用性測試（Usability Testing）；
研究預期成果除了探討相關介面設計文獻，並綜整現有數位教科書平臺之內容資訊，研擬我國數位教科書平臺建立及發展的原則與建議，另一方面，提供國內數位教科書出版業者建立及改善數位教科書平臺介面設計與可用性之參考，提升數位教科書平臺之服務品質。

　　Digital technology is changing the way information is being packaged and transmitted. Not only have the form and function of textbooks aimed at the elementary and junior high school levels felt its impact, it is causing a paradigm shift within education at these levels as well.
　　When faced with the increasingly complex content and functionality of digital textbooks, users need the convenience and practicality of search and use functions via a clear interface and an internet platform that has appropriate operational functionality.
The purpose of the current study is:?
1. Analyze the current state of digital textbook platforms from overseas, including content characteristics as well as services and functionality.?
2. Evaluate and discuss interface design for digital textbook platforms.
Research methods employed include content analysis and usability testing. In addition to a discussion of the current literature on user interfaces, expected research results include a summary of the information content in existing digital textbook platforms; principles and suggestions related to the establishment and development of digital textbook platforms in Taiwan; and for reference, how to improve digital textbook interface design, usability and quality of service for domestic digital publishers.
