Abstrakt: This study investigates how instructional mode (face-to-face vs. online/hybrid) and textbook format (e-book vs. hard copy) influence undergraduate student performance in business undergraduate courses. Results show significant effects for both instructional mode and textbook format, with interaction effects indicating that students in face-to-face classes performed better using e-books, while online learners performed better using hard copies. These findings suggest that optimal instructional and learning material strategies may differ by teaching format. The study contributes to ongoing debates about digital learning's effectiveness and provides practical insights for educators navigating post-pandemic instructional models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
