Many conversations around interactivity in formal learning programs rests on the tools. But at the same time, we need to nurture cultures around interactivity that are independent of any technology. We need vocabulary and expectations around interactivity itself. Does WebEx allow polling? Can you have threaded conversations in Second Life?

The key to creating interactive elearning then isn't about rollovers and animations. So the way I define interactivity in elearning is: "It's not about how someone interacts with the interface, but how the interface interacts with the person's mind." Immersive scenarios are an inexpensive way to create meaningful interactivity A few months back, my favorite blogger Cathy Moore put up a very interesting article about why you want to include scenarios in your elearning . So last week I tweeted an example of immersive learning scenario built entirely in Powerpoint and published using Articulate Presenter .

Tags: online community online facilitation online interaction elearnin I've been exploring Ning a little further than I did and compared it to other forums like socialgo, collectivex and grou.ps . Gro.ups is open source, has a lot of similar functionalities to ning (and more- you can upload files easily) and is also without advertisements (for free!). The advantage of ning

Build this into your process, especially at the start of an interaction when people don’t know each other and technology issues may not yet be sorted out.
People who are always on and respond quickly experience online interaction differently than those who log on less frequently.

There’s a lot of debate about interactivity in elearning. You have some people who think elearning is not valid unless it has a high level of interactivity. Anything that’s not interactive is just a “boring click-and-read course.” On the other hand, there are a lot of people who equate interactivity with nonsensical games. So to them, any interactivity is just extra time and expense.
I’ve

I created, using Articulate Engage, an interaction that is a static screen shot of a typical course here at work and the various components that the learner may come across while taking the course. But I do believe it is a better attempt at showing the learner how to navigate through the course than my first try ( 1st Version - Navigating an Online Course ). Feel free to use the same interaction if you wish by getting it here: Navigating an Online Course (simple interaction)
...Tags: Recently while looking at some examples of various elearning courses I decided that my "help" section of my own course was incredibly too long and perhaps annoying for learners.

But, in this case, it's not simulation, it's interactive presentation. There's actually another product that Adobe offers - Adobe Presenter based on Breeze that is a plug-in or add-on to PowerPoint that allows you to continue to author in PowerPoint but it doesn't offer the same level of interaction support as Articulate Presenter. From the question - "make it fun through graphic effects and movies" doesn't necessarily imply interaction - quizzes, games, etc. I got a question (and you know I love questions): We are being asked to use Adobe Captivate on a project.
