数字内容越来越多地出现在美国的K-12教室中，联邦官员目前正在推动提高数字教科书的采用率。虽然一些教师使用电子资源涉及从各种互联网网站上定位活动和课程，但教科书和教育软件公司已经开始开发全面的程序，即使不能完全取代传统的纸质教科书，也可以作为补充。数字平台可以是变革性的，有可能经常更新，获得多媒体资源，与虚拟社区建立联系，降低生产和分销成本，以及定制教学。然而，一直没有试图分析具体的程序在数学教育方面的这些和其他功能，我们寻求解决的差距。在这篇文章中，我们开发并应用了一个框架来分析数字课程计划的代表性样本，以帮助教育工作者更好地了解这些材料的特点。我们记录了两种不同的课程类型，个性化学习计划和传统教科书的数字化版本。虽然这些项目提供了一些被认为是变革性的功能，特别是在快速和直观地报告学生表现的评估系统方面，但还有许多功能没有充分利用数字媒体。
Digital content is increasingly present in U.S. K-12 classrooms, with a current push by federal officials to increase the rate at which digital textbooks are adopted. While some teachersâ use of electronic resources involves locating activities and lessons from various internet sites, textbook and educational software companies have begun to develop comprehensive programs that can supplement if not fully replace traditional paper textbooks. Digital platforms can be transformative, with possibilities for frequent updating, access to multimedia resources, connection to virtual communities, lower production and distribution costs, and customized instruction. However, there have been no attempts to analyze specific programs in mathematics education with respect to these and other features, a gap we seek to address. In this article, we developed and applied a framework to analyze a representative sample of digital curriculum programs in order to help educators better understand characteristics of these materials. We documented two distinct curriculum types, individualized learning programs and digitized versions of traditional textbooks. While the programs offered some of the features identified as transformative, particularly with respect to assessment systems that rapidly and visually report student performance, there were many features that did not take full advantage of the digital medium.
