Teaching materials can increase efficiency in learning environments. One type of materials with proven effectiveness is
interactive e-books. Interactive e-books based on certain learning strategies are known to be more effective. This study
focuses on analyzing, designing, developing, and evaluating an interactive e-book based on the predict-observe-explain
method. The design-based research method is adopted in the study. Firstly, two physics education experts, four instructional
technology field experts, and ten physics teachers were consulted about the developed interactive e-book. The pilot study
with 20 high school students involved non-participant observations. Two physics education experts and four instructional
technology field experts graded the developed e-book based on interactive e-book evaluation criteria. The second phase
involved the determination of the platform where the interactive e-book would be developed as well as the software and tools
to be used for creating multimedia materials. In the third phase, within the scope of the predict-observe-explain method,
the kinds of multimedia materials and activities to be included in the e-book were designed with a physics education expert
and an instructional technology expert. The interactive e-book was prepared in accordance with the target audience and
subject, and design arrangements were made considering the recommendations given. The study can contribute to designers
on key points to consider when creating the content of interactive e-books to be developed based on a learning method and designing
and developing materials such as video, audio, and animation to be included in them. Furthermore, it can guide designers
through principles and rules to be considered in designing the materials contained in interactive e-books.
