2. Clarity of Content Design
 Students may perceive learning in a Web-based
course easier if the material is presented using a
similar format for each content area (Swan, 2001).
 students perceived more learning when greater
consistency was found in the structural design of the
course modules.

3.  Streamlining structural course
content for simplicity and
repetitiveness may help enhance
learner-content interactions and
help compensate for the lack of
face-to-face meetings.

4. Web-Based Medium
 The medium used to deliver course information
may affect whether students actually learn the
content.
 The cyberspace course provided lectures on CD-
ROM, electronic bulletin, electronic mail (e-mail),
and chat rooms for asynchronous discussions.
Additionally, online discussion rooms were
available for synchronous discourse

5. 2. Learner-Learner Interaction
 The interaction that occurs among students is
extremely dissimilar between a Web-based course
and the traditional classroom course.
 Learner-learner interaction can be between one
student and another or between several students

6. Four types of peer behavior
 (a) participation
 b) response
 (c) provision of affective feedback
 (d) short, focused messaging.

7. Collaborative projects
may lessen feelings of
isolation and promote a
sense of a learning
community
(Abrahamson, 1998;
Palloff & Pratt, 2001) in
the Web-based
classroom.

8. 3. Learner-Instructor Interaction
 The interaction that transpires between students
and faculty is intended to help reinforce student
understanding of the material or elucidate
meanings.
 Interacting with instructors can help students
clarify nebulous points and reinforce correct
interpretation of course information.

9.  In the Web-based course, most often this type
of interaction must be transmitted by electronic
means, such as chat discussions or e-mail
communications.
 In the traditional classroom, the instructor
often takes center stage and becomes a lecturer;
in the Web-based format, the instructor
becomes more of a facilitator.
 Learner-instructor interactions help to
reinforce understanding of the course content
and/or clarify nebulous learning points.

10. 4. Learner-Interface Interaction
 The use of technology in education strongly
advocated that technology use should support the
seven principles of good practice in education.
 The relationship between student and technology
should work in tandem to promote online
learning.

11. Ways of Interacting
 Email
 Status and
commenting
 Videoconferencing
 Chat
 Voice call
 Groupchat
