This study focuses on students' perceptions on needs analysis prior to developing and evaluating an oral presentation module using the interactive whiteboard (IWB). A development research method was selected based on ADDIE's Instructional Design Model. This chapter concentrates on the initial phase of ADDIE's model, which is a needs analysis of students' perceptions on the usage of the IWB for a verbal presentation. The results from a survey indicated that the IWB was an important interactive presentation tool to be introduced in the English classroom. In addition, the findings revealed that the students benefitted from the interactive presentation module introduced during the course when guidance and training were provided. Findings were used to improve the interactive presentation module among students at a tertiary level. © 2021, IGI Global.
