Abstract

Interactivity has been the subject of much discussion and is considered one of the most essential and critical elements in education. As an increasing number of higher education institutions offer e-learning as a medium of instruction, instructional designers and educators face an ever-greater challenge to design e-learning environments that facilitate successful interactivity and which actively involve learners in the learning process, and enables them to reach the intended outcomes of a specific course. This paper reports on the design of interactivity for a particular e-learning environment at a higher education institution in South Africa. In particular, it focuses on aspects and principles that should be taken into consideration during the design of interactivity for e-learning environments, namely types of interaction, pedagogical principles that underpin interactivity, and communication technologies that promote interactivity.
