Research shows that Interactive White Boards (IWBs) have a direct effect on learner involvement in lessons. Their use often results in improved presentation of content based on the use of images and movies that can attract attention and have a positive influence on learners. Providing the teacher with the possibility to personalise and adapt lessons to the learners' emerging needs, its use allows teachers to apply those non-formal and informal ways of learning that usually characterise the experience of adults, such as learning derived from 'managing' one's own life, on the job training, learning opportunities commonly offered in a community-based setting. The use of IWBs also significantly impact on the motivation of teachers. The main motivation comes from the chance to use a vast amount of digital material that is available both on the Internet and in educational software, and from the ability to produce their own digital content (text, audio, images, video) to use in class.
