Both students and teachers have access to new resources that may beleveraged to enhance how learning happens. Utilizing technology effectively in the classroommay facilitate active learning opportunities, where information and curricula can be flexible,malleable, and quick to change. Because of this potential, colleges and universities haveencouraged faculty members of all disciplines to infuse learning

These researchers believed that once thesevarious factors are controlled, test mode effect can be eliminated.To our knowledge, there have been no test mode studies conducted with engineering students inan engineering course. Additionally, the rapid advance of technology and incorporation intostudents’ lives at earlier ages certainly plays a role in how students may approach a paper-basedversus a computer-based test. With this in mind, it is important to gather up-to-date data onstudents with the described demographic.

Feasibility of interactive eTextbooks with computationally intense contentAbstractWe evaluate the technical feasibility of creating pedagogically valuable, highly interactive contentin eTextbooks for the purpose of education in computationally intense fields. This research wasmotivated by the observation that emerging eTextbook technologies could help enhance theeducation of engineering students. Engineers often want to experiment and to be able to quicklysee meaningful results. They want to receive immediate feedback or response for their inputs.They want interactive learning tools. Engineers want trial-and-error with a realistic system, withwhich they can interact, even if it is a virtual one. The most
