Abstract

This paper proposes a framework for constructing multimodal digital textbooks based on the I3 concept (Interaction, Immersion, Intelligence), and systematically explores its application pathways and research methods in architecture and tourism programs. By integrating multimodal design with interactivity, immersion, and intelligence, this study deeply analyzes the mechanisms for enhancing the educational effectiveness of digital textbooks. Combined with the practical achievements of the national online high-quality course "Reinforced Concrete Structure," it proposes a development framework for digital textbooks with an international perspective. The research results show that the I3 concept can significantly optimize the learning experience and provide a reference solution for global educational informatization.
