Content: How can the instructor make Web-based teaching more interactive? How can the instructor create a virtual classroom environment that maximizes participation? Just what constitutes 'interactivity' is hardly clear for some instructors. To some people, it means enabling learners and instructors to share ideas in a virtual chat room; to others, merely posting a question on a bulletin board qualifies as interactivity. Despite the popular conception of the Internet as our most interactive medium, on the great majority of Web-based courses the interaction all goes in one direction. Students interest, motivation, questioning, and interaction must be on display throughout the learning process. Throughout this site, the keywords and phrases: e-learning, Web-based learning, distance learning, distance education, distributed learning, learner-centered programs, and online learning are used as interchangeable terms. As the cost of technology decreases, many universities are finding ways to bring the benefits of the classroom into a distance-learning setting.
