Abstract— The main goal of this paper is to assess the learnability of the Interactive Electronic Lecture System (IELS) and to compare learning outcomes of undergraduate students who attended traditional lectures with those who used the IELS. Both groups were tested before and after this experiment was conducted. They were given pre-tests and post-tests to examine their learning outcomes. The IELS group was also asked to complete a questionnaire to measure their attitudes when they used the IELS application. The results showed that the IELS students achieved higher learning outcomes than the traditional group.
