Abstract

First step in developing electronic book is to build a conceptual model. The model described in this paper is designed by integrating Multiple Intelligences Theory with existing electronic book models. Emphasis is on integrating the content of a page with appropriate activities that meet and cater for the diversity of learning styles and intelligence in young children. We postulate that an additional feature for children e-book would be to present contents by mixing different presentation modes and including various activities which support as many intelligences as possible.
