Interactive whiteboards survey: report
During 2003 teachers from schools, colleges and universities responded to an online questionnaire on the MirandaNorth and Virtual Learning websites and posted information about their uses of interactive whiteboards, and the effects that they had experienced in their teaching and their students’ learning. John Cuthell wrote the summary.
