This document discusses four levels of interactivity for corporate e-learning courses: Level 1 has low interactivity with linear content and limited learner control. Level 2 offers more content and learner control over sequences. Level 3 involves interactions with more elaborate information through video, graphics and simulations. Level 4 provides the most advanced interactivity through complex demonstrations, scenarios and procedures using simulation technology.
