A cross–sectional study was undertaken with the help of questionnaire to distinguish medical learners’ response between two teaching aids. Survey regarding both teaching aids was done in last two years. Opinion was taken from 600 medical students and out of them 69% preferred smart IWB teaching but 24% preferred old traditional black board teaching and 7% remained indifferent.
