Using the revision of the Sensor Network Application Development textbook as a vehicle, this research investigates pathways for creating new-format textbooks that meet the demands of integrating education with vocational certification. To address the original textbook’s problems such as complex knowledge structure, inadequate practical guidance, limited resources, and insufficient ideological-political elements. We construct a four-dimensional integration framework covering team, content, form, and resources. Key solutions include establishing a multi-stakeholder collaborative mechanism, resolving content redundancy through theory-practice integration and training-certification alignment, innovating a dual-track "electronic textbook + paper-based manual" format, and building multidimensional digital resources. The resulting innovations feature a three-in-one carrier for tiered teaching, a dual-progression design for skill development, and an embedded assessment system optimizing learning processes, providing a replicable paradigm for vocational textbook reform.
