Zainal Abidin, Sikky El Walida

Abstract: This study is designed to improve the quality of learning activity in higher education level. This developed an analytical geometry e-book in the form of interactive electronic book (e-book) to improve students independent learning. Development research model was employed in this study consisting of several steps (1) introduction, covering analyses on students need, as well as lecturers, (2) product development and design, covering identification of learning objectives, learning analyses, learning goals, developing interactive learning strategy, and interactive analytical ebook draft compilation, and (3) Testing and assessment of the product (model). Overall, the study proved that mostly students are enthusiastic to learn through this product as their engage directly in the process of learning. The products are I the form of (a) interactive ebook draft, (b) lecturer guidebook, and (c) student guidebook, by which these all are compiled based on teaching and learning principles. The result of testing and assessment also confirm that the products are valid, practical, and effective. Students are also successful in the process of learning through the use of this product.
