Results: Interactive vs. static content 64% better (p-value < 0.001) 16% better (p-value = 0.016) Copyright © 2014 Frank Vahid and Alex Edgcomb (UC Riverside / Zyante).16 of 18 (68) (60) (18) (16) Students chose to spend more time (p-value < 0.001) with interactive (17.5 mins) than static (9.4 mins).

Conclusion Porting paper textbooks to electronic form, even with some additional tool support, may be a poor approach Writing new material natively for the web, using less text and more interactive items, may enable higher learner engagement and more-effective learning Copyright © 2014 Frank Vahid and Alex Edgcomb (UC Riverside / Zyante).18 of 18
