Data were collected through scale,survey and semi-structured interview forms. Quantitative data were analyzed by mean and ttest, and qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis. In conclusion of the study, it wasobserved that there was no significant change in the self-efficacy of teachers using interactivewhiteboard and their level of using interactive whiteboard after UTEC training. Furthermore,it was observed that teachers were unable to develop materials for the interactive whiteboardbefore UTEC training, and after the UTEC training, they were able to prepare materials in part.This fact has revealed that the UTEC training content was not sufficient in materialdevelopment for the interactive whiteboard. The students, on the other hand, indicated that theypreferred the courses used on the interactive whiteboard and asked the teachers to continueusing the interactive whiteboard.
