數位出版為數位知識經濟的核心產業。值此數位出版產業勃發之際，尤其需要數位出版人才的配合，協助傳統出版產業更新體質，發展數位出版產業的競爭力。現階段臺灣出版教育，需要培養具有整合圖像、字元、影像及語音數位技能的人才，以加速推動臺灣出版產業的數位化。本研究特針對2000至2005學年臺灣大學數位出版課程進行分析，援引為臺灣政府當局推動數位出版產業及規劃相關課程之參考。 本研究發現，2002年臺灣經濟部甫通過「加強數位內容產業推動方案」，數位出版政策隨即反映在2003學年開課數量上，政府訂定政策前後，數位出版課程數量呈現明顯對比。同時私立大學比公立大學開設得多，學士班和碩士班皆有開設，但博士班未開設；開設學院以新聞傳播學院最多，系所以出版事業管理研究所和初等教育系最多，同時數位出版課程均為選修之專業科目，主要在提供有志數位出版產業的學生，進一步深化專業能力之機會。
