Synthesis: This four-year comparative study presents results of implementing a Generative-AI Interactive Textbook built on GPT-4, integrated into an Electrical Engineering course. With a sample of 736 students, results suggest effects vary by assessment type: statistically significant improvement in mid-term assessment was consistently observed in multi-year analyses, while final assessment results showed more variable patterns. The study presents a practical method for implementing intelligent textbooks including targeted prompts, didactic anchoring to higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy, and principles to ensure GenAI develops cognitive abilities rather than replacing them.
