In the context of implementing the 2018 General Education Curriculum, the publishing of local educational materials in Vietnam is facing an urgent need for digital transformation to meet educational innovation demands and adapt to rapid technological development. This article analyses the limitations of the traditional print-based model, particularly in terms of content updating, interactivity, and its ability to meet teaching and learning requirements in the digital environment. On this basis, the study clarifies the potential of digital technologies in developing local educational learning resources towards openness, flexibility, and multimedia integration. At the same time, the article identifies major challenges facing the digital transformation process, including institutional constraints, financial resources, technological infrastructure, digital competencies of publishing personnel, and the digital divide between regions. Therefore, the study proposes orientations for developing a modern, interconnected, flexible, and inclusive digital learning resource ecosystem, thereby contributing to improving the quality of local education and promoting digital transformation in education in Vietnam today.
