Abstract

In light of the tremendous technological revolution, we need a revolution in education so that education takes a new form, not only in its degree of formal attractiveness, but also in the educational system. The electronic book is one of the attractive forms of education and e learning where the paper book is converted into a digital version that contains coordinated pages. These pages are from multiple media in various forms that are uploaded on the Internet until we go along with the revolution in the use of modern technology based on information technology and the associated computers and information transmission networks, to move from a state of static education to flexible learning. This transfers the teacher's role from a basic source of information to a trainer for his students in the way of obtaining it from its sources, and making use of them, considering the main goal is to access knowledge sources and employ them in life and in solving problems, thus the student’s role changes from a passive listener to a participant, researcher and critic.
The current research aims to shed light on the importance of an interactive electronic book and a course in developing the artistic skills of color theories among students of art colleges to keep pace with the 2030 vision of education, to transform educational environments into interactive environments that benefit from students' appetite for modern technologies. In order to achieve the research objectives, the research is exposed to the definition of the interactive e-book and its pillars, its advantages and disadvantages, and the technical standards, which include screen design, text, images, and colors. Moreover, educational standards, which include educational objectives, learners' characteristics, and educational content.
