Encouraging Interaction in Online Classes - Brent Muirhead, Instructional Technology

Promoting and maintaining interactivity within online classes continues to be a vital concern among distance educators. The current discussion will explore instructional strategies to foster online interaction. Research literature continues to affirm the central role that online instructors play in creating a dynamic and academically effective learning environment. Palloff and Pratt (2001) state “the key to success in our online classes rests not with the content that is being presented but with the method by which the course is being delivered” (p. 152).
