1. Context and justifications

With the advent of digital technology in the 20th century, humanity is facing a unprecedented revolution in history, which is somehow similar to that of writing.

Digital technology has brought about a profound transformation of society in all its aspects, including learning. School on the other hand, as an institution has remained fairly unchanged in time, both in the approach and in the textbooks used.

With the event of COVID-19 and its propensity at the beginning of 2020, we have seen in the West, although with a very marked lockdown, that there was less disruption in transmission of teaching. This because the environment had a certain amount of infrastructure to deal with it. On the other hand, in sub-saharan Africa, where the infrastructures are less developed, the break in the dispensation of lessons has been felt much more.

This unprecedented context that the planet is facing since the appearance of COVID-19 reminds us that there might be even more violent pandemic forcing this type of restriction.

It is therefore urgent to propose hybrid learning material that is close to current models while taking into account the possibility of a break in traditional education. Those hybrids learning material are new kinds of textbooks that integrate ICT.

UNESCO also says in these lines: "" Textbooks development: The Education 2030 agenda re-affirms the importance of providing opportunities to reach Global Citizenship Education, which includes the design of inclusive learning environments and the contents of the curriculum… ""
