Features and principles of the development of electronic training manual

Electronic training manual is a software and methodological training complex designed for self–study by a student of educational material in certain disciplines. Electronic training manual is a product that can be used fragmentally or completely instead of a textbook. We know that the electronic training manual is “not an electronic version of books, where all the information is translated from the printed version into an electronic one or there is a possibility of switching from the table of contents by hyper-linking to the desired chapter. Depending on the type of training session, the course of the lesson itself should be appropriately constructed to achieve the effect of using such a manual.” Before starting the development of the electronic training manual, it is necessary to highlight the criteria for comparing electronic training manual of similar subjects in order to understand at what level the problems of the chosen topic are now. Further, after analyzing the results obtained, and highlighting for yourself the advantages and disadvantages of already developed solutions, you can start developing a competitive product. We highlight the following criteria: 1) informativeness (availability of detailed and understandable information about information security threats and methods of combating them); 2) transparency of the interface (the interface should be clear to the user and harmonious); 3) ease of navigation on the electronic training manual (the ability to instantly switch to the section of interest, as well as the presence of hyperlinks); 4) interactivity (availability of means of user interaction with the system); 5) regular updating of information; 6) availability of a search engine (in order to provide quick access to the necessary information). When studying subjects related to information technology, of course, with the competent application of the electronic training manual, it is effective for the independent development of the discipline.
