Development of interactive digital book as teaching materials in animal physiology (Sub of the nerve physiology learning)

Proceedings of the International Conference on Science and Science Education August 2015, p. BC.19-26 Available on http://fsm.uksw.edu/ojs/index.php/2015/article/view/29One of the causes of the low quality in Indonesian education is the lack of sources of teaching materials that can be used both by students and lectures. One alternative solution to this problem is by developing Interactive Digital Book. This product can integrate the computer technology with learning, not only textual but also audiovisual. The purpose of this research is to design and develop the Interactive Digital Book, while the benefits are expected to be used as an alternative in the provision of Animal Physiology teaching materials. This study is a Research and Development which consists of two phases; developing Interactive Digital Book process and product analysis. Product validation test results, according to media experts and specialists in general material aspect research product developed is feasible. While the user validation, generally students are very excited, easy to understand, and easy to operate Interactive Digital Book. Student responses to the Interactive Digital Book products in the category of Quality of end-user interface design is in good criteria (55.34%), Engagement categories is in the very well criteria (65.10%), Interactivity category is in excellent category (64,70%), and Tailorability category is in good criteria (51.49%). Overall, the results showed that the Interactive Digital Book is applicable and feasible to use as a medium of learning for students of Biology Educatio
