QUESTION 3

		Koeber (2005) evaluated the use of multimedia presentations (PowerPoint) and a course website (Blackboard) for teaching introductory sociology at a US university. One group of students acted as the experimental group and was taught using these two ways of presenting learning materials simultaneously while the other group acted as control group and did not experience any of the methods.
