Abstract: 
A highly efficient e-book based on the repertory grids is developed in this study. The primary design principle is: helping the learners to construct their personal knowledge during the learning activity by using the Repertory Grids; enhancing the interaction between the proposed system and learners by combining image, audio-visual and multimedia elements into the learning materials. The cherry blossom of Taiwan is used as the learning objective of this study, and 70 students from 2 classes of college freshman in Tainan City are recruited as the study participant. In the experiment, the students are divided into a control group receiving related websites learning and an experimental group that employs the system developed in this study. To assess the proposed system, the learning achievement is assessed by using the t-test for pre-test and post-test. The experiment shows that the system can indeed enhance the learning outcome for the learners.
