- Abstract
The article presents information on interactive learning . Working together and exchanging ideas is inherent in interactive learning. Working together and exchanging ideas is inherent in interactive learning. The focus of interactive learning is on what learners believe is important to learn, the various processes learners use to learn and how learners use learning in other settings and situations. Typically, higher education classes incorporate one-way communication; the teacher-centered lectures control information learned. Moving from traditional to online teaching requires a paradigm shift. Online teaching requires professors to assess their understanding of pedagogy. Technology has the potential for changing the way teachers teach and students learn. Although technology has been around for some time, learning has been passive; computers and multimedia claim to have the final fix, interactivity. Web-based distance learning is an interactive approach. Simulation in a hybrid and an online networking course have the potential to develop students' mental models of complex systems and problem solving strategies.
