Abstract

This article discusses the question of interaction in corporate e-learning. I will define the three kinds of interaction in Moore’s model, explain the value of interactivity in learning, evaluate the benefits and limitations of using interactions, discuss the differences and similarities among learning through computers, learning from computers and learning with computers. Interaction takes on distinctive meanings in different contexts. Interaction is found in computer games, e-commerce sites, user-interface designs, online media, and education. Users have experienced interactions that set their expectations and definitions. The different experiences create challenges for instructional design experts because they muddy the definition and establish expectations regarding interactions that may not have direct transference to interactive online learning.
