ABSTRACT
This study investigates how upper high school teachers' and students' views on the use of chemistry e-book developed by 4S TMD. In academia, e-book is progressively playing a central role in teaching, learning and research, as it helps to increase access timely and diverse scholarly material. In line with this purpose, the present study aimed at determining the views of teachers and students regarding e-book developed by 4S TMD. The participants of the study were three teachers and nine students. In this study, qualitative methods were used by semi-structured interview. The results revealed that the use of e-book developed by 4S TMD provides positive results in learning activities both in the views of teachers and students. The use of e-book can increase the productivity of learning, help teachers to streamline the efficiency of learning time, easy to carry, information is more concrete and allows students to be independent.
