Sciencesc. EducationHypothesis: The use of Interactive Whiteboards improve on Student PerformanceCover SheetThis survey was conducted to determine the hypothesis that Interactive whiteboards have a positive effect on the performance of a student when used in class. The variables given in the survey are to determine the relations between the frequency of the use of Interactive Whiteboards and their impact on a student’s performance (Beauchamp & Parkinson, 2005). This is to say that whether the increased use of the Interactive Whiteboards results in an improved performance.

The variables are also put in place to determine the level where the Interactive White board is most effective on a student’s education and whether the nature of their studies affected their need for the use of the boards (Beauchamp & Parkinson, 2005).The target population is college students involved in different areas of study and in different levels of education. This study is needed in order to determine the effect that Interactive Whiteboards have on studies and whether they are a necessary part of the education system.
