Abstract

Along with the development of technology, the education system began to change from face-to-face learning to blended learning. Blended learning uses a combination of print and digital learning media. Most digital learning resources are e-books that replace the function of printed books and the role of the teacher in the classroom. The focus of research in this paper is how e-books can improve student skills in the 21st century. There has been a number of researches related to e-books and their use in high schools. In-depth literature study is needed to get a conclusion on how e-books affect students' skills, especially after studying Physics. This research provides invaluable insight into how educators were maximizing the use of e-books so as to improve student learning outcomes which in turn impact 21st century skills. These studies describe a lot of data which enables other researchers to understand how teachers use and wish to use e-books. The analysis of these empirical results is used as the basis for developing e-books that have effective content and features that are relevant to e-book literacy. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
