Description

This study focuses on investigating how undergraduate physics and astronomy students engage with interactive e-books, which I designed to support active learning and digital accessibility for two courses I lecture in the School of Physics and Astronomy at my institution. These e-books integrate simulations, videos, code, and interactive assessments, embedded all in one place, offering an accessible and structured alternative to traditional static materials. This research evaluates student usage, preferences, and perceived educational value of these e-books, assessing their effectiveness in digital learning through a survey, identifying strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement.
