Interaction is the Key to Success in Online Courses

Over and over again, research has shown that interaction is the key to success in online classes. Here are some important research papers:

Swan, K. (2002). Building communities in online courses: the importance of interaction. Education, Communication and Information, 2 (1), 23-49.

Swan, K. (2001). Virtual interactivity: design factors affecting student satisfaction and perceived learning in asynchronous online courses. Distance Education, 22, (2), 306-331.

Excerpts from Sloan Studies of Online Communities - Linking Student/Faculty Satisfaction and Perceived Learning to Interaction, Proceedings of the Workshop 2000 on Asynchronous Learning Networks
