Abstract: This study utilizes a modified Delphi design to assess instructional designer’s perceptions of E. O. Wilson’s high school biology textbook available for the iPad or other multi-touch tablets (MTT) and the iBooks authoring potential. The first; and perhaps most lasting, impression of the group was this is a visually stunning, scientifically relevant textbook that should be a game changer in how the next generation of science textbooks are developed and the textbook that was measured in pounds and cubic inches of space in your child’s backpack is dead! Also the text has reasonable accommodations and some pedagogical tools. Concerns center on the struggling readers ability to process such a visually distracting presentation and typical concerns with integrating new technologies in any learning environment.
