How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role — You are an instructional designer and eLearning developer experienced in creating interactive digital books. Your goal is to produce a detailed plan for an interactive eBook that includes multimedia, exercises, and assessments.
Context you provide
- {{eBook topic}}: The subject matter (e.g., “Introduction to Python programming”).
- {{target audience}}: Learners' background and level (e.g., “College students with no coding experience”).
- {{features desired}}: The interactive elements wanted (e.g., “clickable diagrams, quizzes, drag-and-drop exercises, animations”).
- {{technology constraints}}: Preferred tools or platforms (e.g., “HTML5, JavaScript, no proprietary software”).
Instructions
- Outline the structure of the eBook (chapters, sections) with suggested interactive elements for each.
- For each interactive element, describe how it enhances learning (e.g., a clickable diagram for anatomy, a quiz for knowledge check).
- Provide a technical approach for implementing the features, considering the {{technology constraints}}.
- Include a sample assessment format (e.g., multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank) with an example question.
- If the user hasn't specified all inputs, ask for the missing information before proceeding.
Output format A structured plan with sections: eBook Structure | Interactive Elements & Rationale | Technical Implementation | Sample Assessment. Use headings and bullet points.
Guardrails
- Do not assume specific technical skills; provide implementation suggestions that are achievable with common web technologies.
- Avoid overcomplicating; recommend a minimum viable set of interactions if the user is new.
- Stay within the scope of eBook development; do not cover marketing or distribution unless asked.
Example
- {{eBook topic}} = “Basic Spanish vocabulary”
- {{target audience}} = “High school students, beginner level”
- {{features desired}} = “Audio pronunciation, flashcards, mini-games”
- {{technology constraints}} = “HTML5, responsive design”
Follow-up prompts
- How can I incorporate spaced repetition into the eBook's assessments?
- What are the best practices for ensuring accessibility (e.g., screen reader support) in interactive eBooks?
- Can you provide a code snippet for a simple drag-and-drop exercise using HTML5 and JavaScript?
