The Research Of Interactive Behavior In E-learning

The interactive issues have always been the core of E-learning. With E-learning rapidly developing, the issue became more and more prominent. Although it is reported that the interaction plays an important role for e- learning, some investigations show that the present e-learning still lack effective interaction.This study will investigate four dimensionalities of "interactive behavior between students and e-learning resources" , "interactive behavior between students and teachers", "interactive behavior between students and students" and "interactive behavior between students and outside world", which will give insights on the examination of some important factor about E-learning behavior, and increase the application ratio of interactive behavior in E-learning, and eventually, help online learners to enhance interactive level and improve their learning outcome.This article focuses on interactive behavior about students in E-learning environment, and discussed the learning style, learning strategy, learning environment, learning motivation to the impact of the interaction. At last, it discussed the relationship between the learner characteristics, the interaction and the final results of the study.Several methods are used including literature analysis, interview, expert rating and questionnaires, etc. The procedure is mainly consisted of: (1) Generalization and analysis of literature.(2)Design of draft of the index system, which involved 4 dimensions and 18 indexes.(3)Asking specialists for advice.(4)Inviting 7 experts on distance education to discuss the efficiency of this index system, such as definitude and necessity for each index, scale of each dimension, and their holistic suggestion, then deleting 1 unnecessary indexes and revising others according to the opinions of the experts.(5)Designing questionnaires in which all indexes are arranged randomly, and then modifying the questionnaire that are thought unclear and difficult to understand according to questionnaire and interview. In the end, the final version of the index system is determined which includes 4 dimensions, interactivity of interactive behavior between students and e-learning resources , interactive behavior between students and teachers, interactive behavior between students and students and interactive behavior between students and outside world, all of these reaching up to 17 indexes.
