This study aimed to find out the students’ needs for a web-based course-book, describe the validation result from the experts regarding the course book being developed, figure out the practicality aspect of the course book, and describe the effectiveness of course book. The study employed a mixed version of Plomp’s and Tessmer’s research and development (R&D) major procedures. The R&D procedure involved analyzing students’ need, designing and producing a prototype of a web-based course-book, and evaluating the prototype including expert validation, one-to-one evaluation, small group evaluation, and field testing. Questionnaire was administered to investigate the students’ needs. One-to-one evaluation and small group evaluation were conducted to examine the practicality aspect of the course book being developed. Test was administered to assess the effectiveness of the course-book. Results of the analysis have shown that the students needed a web-based course-book. The course-book consisted of materials, comprehension questions, bibliography, glossary, author profiles, the Sampyong videos and photos, and logout menus. The expert validation average score was 4.27 (out of 5), belonging to category “good”. Based on one-to-one and small group evaluation, the web-based course-book was considered practical for university students. The objective test administered revealed that the students’ achievement significantly increased from the average scores 66 (pre-test) to 79 (post-test).
