I read a study by Bernard, Abrami, Borokhovski, Wad, Tamim, Surkes and Bethel (2009) which did a meta-analysis on Moore's three types of interaction in distance education. They looked at 6,000 studies and after refining their definitions of what they required of the study to be included, they analyzed 74 of these studies. What they discovered was that if student-content interaction was high quality and either student-teacher interaction or student-student interaction was moderate, the student learning would be positively affected. The student-content interaction was key. At least one other method of interaction needed to be included at a moderate quality.
The student-content interaction was key. That's right, and with the help of elearning tools, the learning process has become more easier for the students.
