Abstract
This study examines the trend of digital transformation in university teaching materials and investigates the acceptance of digital teaching materials among students in Guilin universities through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the majority of students with experience using digital teaching materials exhibit a positive attitude toward them, demonstrating a high level of acceptance, particularly in terms of improving learning efficiency and facilitating interactive communication. However, challenges persist in practical use, including poor technical adaptability and a lack of prominent personalization in the design of teaching material content. Finally, based on the survey results, corresponding suggestions for transformation pathways are proposed.
