Interactivity is a key element of online course design. Incorporating interactive learning content into online learning has been proven to be a best practice that adds outstanding value to student's learning experience. As technology advances, instructors have access to an increasing number of tools that allow them to include interactivity into their online classes. In this facilitated, one-week course, participants will review the benefits of various types of interactive content and activities, discuss how to create specific types of interactive content (e.g., interactive presentations, interactive video lectures, interactive discussions, and interactive assessments), and gain some hands-on experience with creating different types of interactive content using various tools.
