“…Furthermore, electronic picture books improve preschool literacy. Korat & Shamir (2006) found that the students who read and play with electronic books have a higher level of literacy than those who learn by reading conventional story books. Similarly, Doty, Popplewell & Byers (2001) found that the academic performance of early adolescents who read electronic picture books is better than those who don't.…”

Since literacy is essential for learning, one of the main purposes of elementary school is to enhance students' literacy skills. In many countries, it's quite common to use an interactive whiteboard in class, and Taiwan is no exception. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using an interactive whiteboard to teach picture books. A mixed-method approach was used in this study. Interactive whiteboards were used to teach picture books to four classes at an elementary school. A pre-and post-test were used to evaluate the increases in the vocabulary of the students. Furthermore, the four participating teachers were interviewed to determine their views on using an interactive whiteboard to teach picture books. The results indicate that using the interactive whiteboard in the lower grades increases the students' interest in reading at school and improves their level of literacy. Based on the results, some suggestions are provided for schools.

“…Undoubtedly, such multimedia make picture books more vivid and attractive to children (Korat & Shamir, 2006). Schwier and Misanchuk (1993) divide the way students interact with a book into three levels: reactive interaction, proactive interaction, and mutual interaction.…”

In many non-English-speaking countries, reading textbooks in English is a difficult and challenging. This is especially true for university students who study professional literature with complex and unfamiliar terminologies but they are not English majors. Recent evidence suggests that e-books have a great potential in education; for example, assistant tools provided in e-books can effectively enhance reading comprehensions as well as improve learning outcomes. Therefore, this study applies an e-book learning system to an embedded system course. Apart from general auxiliary functions, the e-book learning system provides different ways of reading with multimedia annotation support and a professional knowledge database of terminologies. Furthermore, the system enables students to translate and highlight important terms, sentence or paragraph. One experiment was carried out in this study to test the feasibility of the e-book learning system. Results of the experiment showed that experimental students (who learned with the system) outperformed those who in the control group (who learned by using traditional approach). Analysis of experimental students' portfolios showed that checking professional knowledge database, translation, making annotations, speed reading and intensive reading were most common learning behaviors during the reading process.
