The Usage of e-Book as Learning Media Through the Sigil Application in History

Abstract

This paper aims to: (1) obtain learning media products using the Sigil application as a learning media for history in the first year high school with a validated 4D model, and (2) learning the application of digital books using the Sigil application as a medium for learning history. The problem presented in this paper is the learning motivation of students in learning history. This is because students are not practical enough to carry and also read thick history books. Another problem is that history learning is known as a lesson issued because of the attractiveness of interactive learning media used in historical learning. Observations made by the authors make learning learning interesting, namely: developing digital books (e-books) using the Sigil application, while students do not need to carry historical reading books. Students can open digital books (e-books) via cellphones (smartphones) or their respective laptops related to historical learning. So that students are expected to be able to improve learning outcomes and help learn history and students are expected to reach a high level by using literacy after using E-book learning media through the Sigil application in learning history. The type of research used is development research with a 4D model.
