In the last three decades, new technologies have gradually transformed academic educational resources; but this development has not necessarily improved the quality of students' learning. To this end, the purpose of the present case study is to design an electronic textbook based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning and to evaluate its validity and effectiveness on students' learning and cognitive load. This applied and mixed method research was conducted in five stages: 1) designing an e-textbook based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning, 2) validation using the opinions of experts; 3) Initial implementation and survey of students; 4) Modifying the e-textbook based on the opinions of experts and students; 5) Final implementation. First, a multimedia textbook was developed based on the principles of cognitive theory of multimedia learning. Then, using descriptive questionnaire, six experts were surveyed about it. In the initial implementation phase, 27 students completed a survey form about the electronic resource, and the scores of the students in the two groups of e-textbook and printed textbook were compared. At this stage, the difference in student scores was not significant. In the final phase, 137 students were compared in two groups of printed and electronic textbooks. At this stage, students in e-textbook group scored higher than those who used the print textbook. Also, using e-textbook was associated with decrease in intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load and an increase in germane cognitive load. The results of this study can provide a model for future instructional design of e-textbooks.

The necessity of implementing the curriculum provided by the Iranian Ministry of Sciences, Research, and Technology is well-accepted and university instructors are presumed to stay loyal to it. One of the obstacles to conducting research on curriculum fidelity is the absence of a questionnaire compatible with the Iranian higher education context which can delineate the instructors' fidelity or infidelity to the prescribed curriculum and suggested academic books. Therefore, as an attempt to occupy this niche, using the findings of previous studies and the instructors' experiences of teaching, the first draft of the questionnaire was developed and revised several times to reach its final form. Then, 127 university instructors took the questionnaire, and the data on content validity, construct validity, face validity, and reliability were collected. Finally, a 27-item Likert-Scale questionnaire with five main factors was developed. The first factor dealt with the instructors, which included content knowledge and teaching ability, teaching experience, and personal issues. The second factor was about the curriculum, including the content quantity and quality. The third factor addressed the institute-related issues, examining university hardware, teaching performance evaluation, and university authorities' imposing personal opinions. Learner engagement (incompatibility of the content with students' knowledge and students' lack of interest in the material) was the fourth factor. The last factor was the effect of high-stakes tests on instructors' modification of the curriculum. The developed questionnaire can be used in the field of higher education to conduct future research on the adherence or non-adherence of university instructors to the curriculum.
