Abstract: Background/purpose: This study examines the role of interactive boards--particularly the ViewSonic board--in enhancing learners' academic achievement at Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities by increasing engagement, deepening knowledge, and developing skills. Materials/methods: A descriptive-analytical approach synthesized findings from prior studies to inform the present investigation. An inductive design was then implemented via a questionnaire administered to a sample of 135 respondents. Collected data were analyzed using standard descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean, standard deviation, and multiple linear regression, to test the study's hypotheses. Results: The use of interactive boards demonstrated significant positive effects on academic achievement for both students and instructors. Their adoption increased motivation for learning and innovation, strengthened cooperation between students and lecturers, and fostered enthusiastic, sustained teamwork. The analysis also identified obstacles to broader, effective use--especially of the ViewSonic board--including the absence of a clear strategic vision and limited institutional efforts to embed a sustainable, technology-supported instructional model. Conclusion: The findings support activating and institutionalizing the role of interactive boards--particularly the ViewSonic board--within a coherent strategy that motivates students, equips instructors, and normalizes technology-enhanced pedagogy. The study further recommends targeted awareness initiatives extending beyond academic contexts to economic and social sectors, alongside concerted actions to remove organizational and logistical barriers that impede effective diffusion of this technology.
