Interaction with content takes place when the learner establishes
new knowledge by encountering new information & combining it
with the body of knowledge already retained by him or her.
Interaction with instructors can help students clarify unclear points
and reinforce correct interpretation of course information.
Interaction with learner is intended to promote understanding of
the course content and stimulate critical learning.
Student’s experience with computers can affect their learning in
distance education as well as improve their computer skills.University of Education Okara Campus 9
Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Interaction
Distance education supports both synchronous
and asynchronous interaction.
Computer-based instruction may be synchronous,
as when computer conferences are held at pre-
established times via chat technologies, or it
maybe asynchronous as when learners retrieve
instructional materials via the internet and act on
them at their convenience.
