Teachers and schools have tools to manage, evaluate and personalize the learning process for each student.

Sharing at the event, Dr. Ton Quang Cuong, Head of the Faculty of Educational Technology, University of Education - Vietnam National University, Hanoi , said that electronic textbook products will create a boost with the ability to integrate into a platform, smart system.

In an era where the need for human learning is becoming more and more essential. Moreover, the personalization as well as self-direction and self-regulation of learners are becoming more and more evident. This solution is the resonance between education and the application of modern technology. It will also change the entire approach to thinking about textbooks of everyone. It is the foundation for excitement and confidence to be able to create new generation textbooks.

According to Dr. Pham Quang Hung, Director of the Department of Science, Technology and Information, the technology used in this set of electronic textbooks, especially the application of artificial intelligence (AI), not only helps improve the capacity and quality of learners but also helps teachers conveniently monitor the learning process of learners, thereby making appropriate adjustments.

Dr. Pham Quang Hung said that the technology used in this set of electronic textbooks, especially the application of AI, not only helps improve the capacity and quality of learners but also helps teachers conveniently monitor the learning process of learners.

“In the near future, the Ministry of Education and Training will issue a strategy for applying artificial intelligence, including content related to building a database so that students can access data accurately and completely. Therefore, accessing authentic textbook sources to apply to e-textbooks is very appropriate. This will be the first step in the digital transformation of education. Although the digital transformation in education is still very long, I hope that businesses, teachers, and experts will accompany the Ministry of Education and Training, providing directions in line with the world's trends and scientific advances to apply to education,” said Mr. Pham Quang Hung.

From another perspective, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Ai Viet, Director of the Institute of Technology and New Intelligence Education, believes that traditional education will no longer be effective and education must be based on technology. Technology changes every day, so we should also design openly to welcome new technology for education.
