Abstract: This study examined achievement when a multimedia interactive textbook (iBook) was used in place of lecture to teach students to create instructional flipcharts for a Promethean interactive whiteboard. The study was conducted with students enrolled in a required technology course for teachers at a large research-intensive university in the Southeastern United States. Further, the study examined the iBook group’s perceptions of the benefits and challenges of using an interactive text as an educational tool. The results showed a significant difference in the achievement of students who received instruction delivered through the use of the interactive multi-touch textbook versus those who received lecture instruction. In addition, the participants indicated that the iBook provided a new way of learning, as well as motivated them to learn, made learning more exciting, increased their attention towards instruction, was more efficient, and increased their interest in the class.
