The inclusion of interactivity is one of the main predictors of successful learning in multimedia learning environments. Research has shown that computer-based learning systems that include interactivity yield much higher learner satisfaction rates, higher levels of achievement, and greater degrees of collaboration when compared to non-interactive environments. Designers can use some techniques...

Most recently, the notion of interactivity has gained rapidly increasing interest within the telecommunications community. Especially in the context of network quality planning (EModel) it is suspected that interactivity might be of crucial impact on the perceived Qualityof-Service of biand multilateral communication over delayed transmission channels. In order to explore this in depth, an inst...

Researchers have overwhelmingly concluded that substantial benefits can be achieved by organizations increasing the level of interactivity on their websites. However, interactivity, with its emphasis on facilitating visitors’ unconstrained exchanges and control over website content, may undermine the communicative purpose of an organization’s website. Taking a perspective based on the duality o...

lmage Recording Is a cooperative project Involving the local museum, the County Authority for Work, and the Swedlsh Folk High School, among other interest groups. (The Swedlsh Fdk High Schod is a democratic school for adult education that dates from the late nineteenth century.) To make the project worthwhile, we needed to find the place where all these different interest groups, and others, in...

What makes computer-mediated groups tick and/or stick? To what degree are computermediated discussants really sustained “groups”? Does the grouping quality reflect anything beyond technical structure? Are technical structure and grouping related? How do threads define groups, or viceversa? Does any of this change between academic and commercial networks? We propose that one useful perspective f...
