Modern schooling requires pushing the boundaries of traditional education and abandoning established teaching methods. The new system implies the abolition of the teaching model where the teacher is the only source of knowledge. Students need to comprehend that they are the subjects of their education, and all the available tools must be enabled for them to fully understand the learning content and apply it in everyday life situations. In today's world, daily contact with technology is inevitable, so it is not surprising that information and communications technologies are increasingly entering school classrooms. Consequently, the textbook is gaining in importance because it takes on a new, digital design that offers a handful of innovative opportunities. Multimedia opens up a new dimension of learning where content can be acquired through a combination of senses. Enriching the learning process with multimedia content does not necessarily imply a better quality of the process, but it certainly implies interactivity, dynamism, and better feedback from students. Digital textbooks offer a more interesting approach to learning and bring teaching content closer to the modern child with the help of various tools and multimedia. This final paper aimed to explore and further clarify the most important possibilities of using digital textbooks. The positive results of this research can be a significant motivation for teachers to further enrich their teaching with digital content. Also, all the mentioned negative aspects should serve as feedback to initiate further improvement of the characteristics of digital textbooks and improve the use of ICT in the Croatian school system.
