Research On Interaction Design Of Collaborative Online Course

Online course interaction is the key to the success of online course learning.In this study,the interaction of collaborative online course refers specifically to collaborative online courses(which is a kind of computer network-assisted online courses,with group discussions or panel discussions as the main form,to achieve the knowledge of construction of online and face-to-face mixed with the form of the course,through online delivery,and a fixed face-to-face communication,online course content ratio of 30.0% to 79.0%)in teaching interaction which refers to the interaction between learners and other elements in online learning environment and the research in collaborative online courses,the online content proportion reaches as high as 71.4%,which can meet the requirements of collaborative online courses for online content ratio.Therefore,this study focuses on the interaction nature of collaborative online courses,discusses the essential and emotional attribution of collaborative online course interaction design,defines the key elements of collaborative online course interaction,and revises the practice of collaborative online curriculum interaction design.Based on the research paradigm of design,this paper carries out three rounds of the design and practice of the interaction collaborative online courses which are related to “The Theory of Educational Communication”,through the repeated practice of “practice-optimization-repractice”,revises the design practice of collaborative online courses interactive,and constructs a collaborative online curriculum interaction design framework.And on this basis,to explore the factors that take effect on the interaction,and to find several strategies to improve the interaction,in order to provide some theoretical and methodological guidance for the course design or the interactive design of teachers’ online courses.The findings of this paper are as follows:First,the research suggests that the collaborative online courses are a kind of hybrid curriculum course format which are based on the theory of online collaborative learning(OCL),and including the four characteristics of the orientation of the curriculum,that is the learners’ individual participation from the collaborative online course objectives,the activity of the course content,the collaboration of the curriculum implementation and the curriculum evaluation participatory and so on.These four aspects of curriculum positioning characteristics are the decisive factors that distinguished obviously between collaborative online courses and traditional online courses.Second,the research suggests that the value of the design in collaborative online course’ interaction is to eliminate the emotional attribution of learners due to space-time separation in online courses through a series of collaborative interaction activities,so that learning takes place in interaction and collaboration so as to realize the essence of “learning” of interaction of the online courses.Third,the research holds that the design of interaction of the collaborative online course is a system that includes four core elements or sub-levels,such as interaction level,interaction media,interaction activity and interaction evaluation.Each level is independent and interactive with each other.The interaction level is the basis and condition of constructing the environment in the collaborative online course’ interaction.Besides,the interactive level is the prerequisite of the interaction’ design,and the different types of interaction are designed on the basis of the explicit level of interaction.What’s more,the interactive activity is the key link of the design of the collaborative online course’ interaction,including the choices of the formal interaction,the determination of the interactive activities,and the management and implementation of interactive activities.The evaluation of the interaction is the feedback of the design of interaction,which is based on the quality of the learners’ interaction.Fourth,this research constructs the theoretical framework of the design of interaction of the collaborative online course,including the determination of the logical starting point of the design of collaborative online courses’ interaction——which is based on curriculum orientation,from curriculum objectives,course content,curriculum implementation and curriculum evaluation to determine the course syllabus;constructing the environment of interaction online——which mixed with the benefits of the LMS,the medium and the instructors;organnizationg the collaborative ineraction——from the three aspects of interaction level and type determination,interactive activities design and implementation,interactive evaluation and other aspects of the design and implementation of collaborative online curriculum interaction.Fifth,this study suggests that the key factors are the learner’s individual and the attributions of activity of interaction,which affect the participatory effect of learners in collaborative online courses.In the individual aspects of learners,the number and quality of the activity of the interaction are influenced by the cultural background and social relations of the learners’,which leads to the fact that learners cannot participate in activities of the interaction on time,so as to reduce the learners’ participation in activities of the interaction.In the aspects of the activities’ attributes,the type of the interaction is related to the frequency of the interaction,so as to choose effective types when the interaction is designed.In addition,the time interval of the interaction’ activities is related to the number of interaction and there is a certain regularity.In order to improve the effect of interaction,the rules of the learners’ interaction activities should be followed.
