Design of interactive e book application for physics course

Differentiations  are  seen  in  the  book  format  along  with  the  rapid  development  of technology.  Thanks  to  the  possibilities  provided  by  the  electronic  environment,  e-books are supported by electronic contents such audio, music and images. Also, getting feedback in  the  e-book  is  easy.  In  addition,  e-books  have  high  storage  capacity  and  it  encourages people  to  read  them.  Another  advantage  of  the  book  is  that  it  is  accessible  for  special needs  individuals.  E-books  are  usually  read  by  using  tools  such  as  tablets  and  computers which  have  the  necessary  software  for  it.  Interaction  is  defined  as  the  communication between two or more people/ objects, or interaction of two or more persons or objects with each other, or two or more people/objects reacting to each other as a result of a stimulus. The interactive e-book offers much more to learners than a book. The interactive e-book, which  is  enriched  with  multimedia  elements  such  as  audio,  video,  animation  and  has  an entirely  interactive  learning  environment,  enables  more  effective  and  productive  learning by drawing learners to the center of the work process. Considering the philosophy of” less is more” that, the most important and brief information about the subject is taught via video.  It  is  thought  that  understanding  of  difficult  subjects  in  the  field  of  physics  will  be understood  and  persisted  through  the  interactive  e-book.  Especially,  it  is  aimed  to minimize  the  misconceptions  related  to  electricity.  Considering  of  all  this,  interactive  e-book  applications  are  designed  for  physics  lessons  so  that  students  understand  the complicated  subjects  more  easily  and  to  help  eliminate  the  misconceptions  about  them. Adobe InDesign software is used for this design. In this designed mobile application, it is considered that the images, graphics, shapes and texts used are understandable and that the colors  used  are  integrated  in  the  screen.  It  is  important  that  the  images  used  are  not  eye-straining  and  the  view  is  clear.  It  has  taken  care  of  the  font  is  legible  in  terms  of  style, color  and  size.  Also,  very  long  texts  are  not  preferred  in  the  designed  e-book.  Thus,  it  is ensured that the information to be given becomes more remarkable.
