With the slow evolution and introduction of interactive texts hosted on web-based platforms, there have been relatively few studies on the efficacy of such texts on studentengagement, satisfaction, and performance. Of the few studies which exist, even fewer have beenfocused on engineering-based texts.O'Bannon et al.
