- W123749256 abstract "Introduction Interaction is the key issue facing distance education program designers as pointed out by numerous authors (Egan, Jones, Ferraris & Sabastian, 1993; Penn State, 1992). Lack of face-to-face contact between instructors and students is often cited as the major drawback to distance education. Indeed, for some faculty and administrators, absence of traditional contact, such as, three hours of lecture per week in the same classroom at an appointed hour, renders distance education programs unacceptable. For others, however, the traditional model of learning as a transmission of information from teacher to student is bankrupt (Amthor, 1992). Amthor points out that there is general agreement among researchers that people retain about twenty percent of what they hear, forty percent of what they see and hear, and seventy-five percent of what they see, hear and do (1992). On universities, formally structured opportunities for interaction are important and assumed to be available to all students. For distance education programs, interaction that incorporates seeing, hearing and doing is crucial and therefore it is essential that some means be provided to accommodate this need. In designing an interactive component of a faced with the dilemma of selecting an appropriate technology or rather a group of complementary technologies. There are number of low end and high end technologies that can be implemented to increase the opportunity for interaction. The low end interactive strategies include formal and informal student study groups, peer reviews, group viewing sessions of video material, and correspondence activities. These methods are relatively inexpensive, easy to organize, and can be highly effective. At the opposite end of the spectrum are any number of computer enhanced interactive possibilities including e-mail, computer conferencing, and utilization of electronic bulletin boards to post notices, assignments, and comments. Although more expensive than low end examples, computer interaction provides individuals with an exciting, memorable, and rewarding experience. During the instructional moment, a combination of the low end and high end technologies can be used as tools to ensure interaction between student to student and between student to instructor. Importance of Cognitive Speed Theory The need for interaction can be explained by the cognitive speed theory (Fulford, 1993). This theory is demonstrated in research on reading and compressed speech (Fulford & Zhang, 1993). Most Americans read as fast as 250 to 300 words per minute (Taylor, 1965), and the human ear can listen to average speech at the same rate (Carver, 1982). Learners have the cognitive capacity to process speech at twice the rate at which a lecturer speaks (Fulford & Zhang, 1993). If only half of students' capacity is needed to listen, the other half can be used to engage in internal conversation. While interested learners simulate their own involvement, others may begin to follow thought patterns and lose track of the discussed topic (Fulford & Zhang, 1993). If these learners are not engaged in a situation where interaction is required, their renegade thought patterns may dominate their cognitive activity. A way to ensure active attending behavior is to use technology that allows for two way interaction at a distance with a focus on seeing, hearing and doing. Importance of Interactivity Two way distance education systems which entice high levels of interactivity and user control have been found to best suit instructional needs (Ellis & Mathis, 1985; Hackman & Walker, 1990). Interactive systems where students are encouraged to comment during class have a positive impact on learning and learners' satisfaction. According to Hackman and Walker (1990), interactivity allows distant learners to engage in a form of personal involvement that is essential to effective mediated learning, Cheng, Leham, and Reynolds (1991) indicate that maintaining everyone's alert level in classroom or in a distance education setting appears to be a prime responsibility of the teacher. …" @default.
