We introduce InVis, a novel visualization technique and tool for exploring, navigating, and understanding user interaction data. InVis creates a interaction network from student-interaction data extracted from large numbers of students using educational systems, and enables instructors to make new insights and discoveries about student learning. Here we present our novel interaction network mod...

TechTrends Volume 50, Number 4 nteraction between teacher and students and among students is fundamental to higher education (Berge, 1999). Teacher-student and student-student interactions are prerequisite to course satisfaction (Allen, Bourhis, Burrell, & Mabry, 2002) and are associated with decreased attrition (Muilenburg & Berge, 2001). Thus, in all instructional contexts, including hybrid a...

Covid-19 presented many challenges to universities as brick-and-mortar courses were moved an online format. This work is unofficial study of learner-instructor interaction and student engagement in two 7- week graduate-level conducted Spring 2020, Fall early 2021. Research shows that instructor presence leads increased engagement, well motivation, well-being, academic achievement. Student shown...

Eliciting student participation in large college classes is notoriously difficult yet critical to learning. This paper describes a design experiment with a computer-mediated feedback system for promoting class interaction. We delineate specific challenges to interaction and propose design principles to address them in computer-mediated systems. A prototype realizing these principles establishes...

This paper reports on an empirical research on the Interaction Equivalency Theorem posited by Anderson (2003a), consisting of the three elements of teacher-student-content interaction. Using an authordeveloped survey, the paper reports the priority order of interaction elements to assure learning quality with two parameters of learning modes and subject orientations. The inventory was tested in...

As learning technologies are now integral to most higher education student learning experiences, universities need to make strategic choices about what technologies to adopt and how to best support and develop the use of these technologies, particularly in a climate of limited resources. Information from students is therefore a valuable contribution when determining institutional goals, buildin...
