Yet, the interactive e-book has not been evaluated. In order to find out whether the interactive grammar e-book was designed according to the criteria and the users’ needs, the feedback from grammar lecturers on the e-book are demanded.

This survey study involved six grammar lecturers at English Department who were available and willing to take part.
