Facilitating the work of teachers. 
Most of the different phases of teaching 
work can be significantly eased by using 
information technology, but only if equip-
ment and digital learning materials are 
easily accessible and teachers are equipped 
with sufficient ICT skills. One of the main 
areas of competition between textbook 
publishers has been in easing the work-
load of teachers. this has manifested itself 
in the production of teacher’s manuals, 
exercise books and overhead presenta-
tions. The web pages of textbook publish-
ers already contain many links to servers 
which support teaching.
The marketing of textbooks in the fu-
ture will focus on utilizing electronic 
communities. These communities will 
also ease the workload of teachers. The 
pace of development will depend on the 
extent to which teachers use information 
technology tools. The publishers of learn-
ing material will increasingly offer digital 
accessories for their textbooks, such as 
CDROMs and web pages or combinations 
thereof. These accessories also serve the 
goal of enriching instruction. Even now 
the most active teachers already use elec-
tronic encyclopedias, language CD-
ROMs and simulation games.
