There is still little research on digital learning materials, which is why more research is needed. Researching digital learning materials provides information on the quality of learning materials. It is also important to have information on how teachers perceive the digital learning material they use. This study examines teachers’ experiences of using the digital material in the Milli -series in their teaching and the digital features of the Milli -book series based on the features of good digital learning material compiled by researchers. Previous research shows that teachers use digital learning materials in their teaching at least occasionally, but that their use is limited in particular by the availability of equipment. Researchers believe that the best learning outcomes are achieved by using both printed and digital learning materials in teaching. In this study, “Digiopetusmateriaali”, “Millin digikoulu”, and Milli’s Bingel assignments were examined from the Milli -series. The analysis was carried out with a theory-based content analysis and the theoretical basis was the criteria presented by the researchers for good digital learning mate-rial. They are structure, motivation, and community. Teachers’ experiences of the Milli -series were surveyed with a questionnaire that was answered by 35 teachers. The material of the questionnaire was collected on Facebook in “Alakoulun aarreaitta” and “kolmos-nelosten opet” groups in the autumn of 2021. The material of the questionnaire was analysed by data-driven content analysis. The digital materials in the Milli -series contained features highly recommended by the researchers. The feature least used by the learning materials was communality but in some of the materials the choice was made consciously. There are a lot of motivating features in the materials, both through videos and playfulness. The Milli -series meets the criteria for very good digital learning material. Teachers taught the Milli -series using a variety of different content, utilising both printed and digital materials. Geometry received the most mentions of the contents. Teachers used printed teacher material to plan the lesson and digital teaching material instead to illustrate the teaching during the lesson. Teachers use a variety of digital and printed teaching materials when teaching different topics.
