Abstract
Digital books have revolutionized the way student accesses books and information. An alternative to a static e-book, is an interactive textbook designed with iBooks Author, a free Apple software program. This technology allows teachers to develop textbooks based on the needs of their students. In this study a digital interactive book-iBook (for use on the Apple iPad and iPhone)-was created to teach general chemistry laboratory for first year collage. In this study the flipped classroom is a form of hybrid instructions in which active form of engagement inside as well as outside the classroom are made possible by designing an iBook for general chemistry laboratory supported by a set of video lectures. This study documents the implementation of partially flipped class over one semester and presents results of students' perception toward flipped learning and using the iBook. It is found that students respond positively to flipped learning and they are excited to use this technology (iBook) to introduce general chemistry laboratory.
