Introduction
Educational materials are one of the key components of educational technology. From the general didactic aspect, educational materials can be defined as the didactically adapted materials that the teacher can use during the teaching process as teaching materials; for the students who are acquiring or revising their knowledge with the help of the materials, these materials are learning materials or learning sources.
Educational materials are therefore all the specially prepared materials intended to be used during the processes of teaching and learning, in other words, when studying specific educational contents and achieving specific educational goals defined in syllabuses. For that reason, they are appropriately didactically adapted. Educational materials consist of books, encyclopedias, atlases, dictionaries, textbooks, etc.; that is, mostly written materials, which can be either printed or available in electronic form (on digital media or on-line). Both printed and electronic educational materials are indispensable in the teaching process, since they are – in addition to the teacher’s direct explanation and other learning activities – an important source for students.
