What is Student-Content Interaction

This chapter explores the use of different synchronous and asynchronous learning engagement support activities to promote student interactions (student-student interaction; student-instructor interaction; and student-content interaction) and provide a better learning experience in an online classroom. These activities included live consultations, online discussion forums, and online formative follow-up quizzes. The findings in this chapter revealed that a well-designed and carefully crafted online course with different types of support activities using different platforms, perhaps will create a holistic environment in which the students can excel as if they are taking the course in a face-to-face classroom. The learning engagement activities that promote students' interactions are important to ensure students have a satisfying and positive online learning experience.
