Reflection on E-Learning Interactivity
Interactivity is foundational in maintaining engagement and
ensuring the learner is meeting the objectives of the lesson. defined interactivity in “How to Create
Interactivity that Works,” as ultimately structuring the process in such a way
that produces “an active
effort on the learners side to seek out an outcome.” Interactivity indicates
that the learner is involved in the process and has to do something besides just sit there and absorb the material. The
creator needs to determine the level of interactivity that is possible and
would best meet their need. Go to, http://info.shiftelearning.com/blog/bid/190140/Levels-of-Interactivity-in-eLearning-Which-one-do-you-need
for more information on the four levels of interactivity.
The
military has provided me some experience relating to interactivity in online
tutorials. In recent years, the laptop has replaced the schoolhouse for many
military courses. Often times you will see Soldiers trying to quickly click
their way through a passive lesson to just get the requirement out of the way.
It is obvious that the lack of interactivity is a detriment to meeting the
objectives. It has come a long way in the last decade, with the adoption of
more scenario and simulation based interactivity making it much more engaging.
I came
across a cool resource for teachers that share interactive e-learning lessons.
