Perspectives on the Design of Interaction Strategies
Abstract
While few question the importance of active responding for effective computer-supported learning, insufficient attention has been directed toward understanding the implications of contemporary research and theory for the design of interactions. With technologies of vastly expanded capabilities, the potential for interaction design has expanded still further. What kinds of interactions should be cultivated? Are these strategies truly unique for specific technologies, or are they generalizable? How are differences inherent in diverse learning tasks accommodated in the design of interaction strategies? Can these guidelines be derived, based upon existing research and theory, that emphasize durable technological attributes rather than transitional media forms? In this paper, several perspectives on interaction and computer technology are presented and critically analyzed.
