Abstract

21st century education focuses on training students in digital literacy and higher-order thinking. Digital literacy needs to be introduced to students from an early age so that they are technologically literate. It is important to train students to think at a higher level so that they can think critically, creatively and be able to solve problems. Education also accommodates the needs of different students (Differentiated Education). For this reason, learning media was developed in the form of HOTs-oriented E-Books so that students are able to think at a high level and are literate in digital technology and meet the needs of students in areas that have several regional characteristics, namely in Gorontalo North, Bonebolango Regency and Pohuwato Regency. The research was conducted using several school samples in North Gorontalo, 6 schools, Bonebolango in Kabila Bone, Pohuwato in Duhiadaa Village School, 2 schools and Popayato, 2 schools. The selected areas have student characteristics, including students who have time to study at school and students who have activities other than studying, namely helping their parents who work as fishermen. So students cannot meet the frequency of attending school as expected by their teachers. The research results show that E-Book Learning Media provides great benefits in helping students’ understanding. Students who can enter class receive teacher guidance, students who cannot enter class can still study at home independently. Because students are helped by the E-book learning media because it is equipped with materials, LKPD and videos as well as assignments. So even though students are not at school because they are helping their parents at sea, students can still study in the home.
