Students in this era, often referred to as Gen Z, are highly familiar with technological advancements, making it necessary for the teaching methods to be adapted so that the material being delivered can be effectively understood and well received by the students.

The type of research uses a development method (Research and Development) with the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The results of this study indicate that the interactive e-book using Lectora software is very suitable as learning media in monetary economics courses and it is proven toenhance student motivation to learn the subject and increase students' understanding of the money demand and money supply materials in the Monetary Economics course.
