Description¶
The article organizes online course design around three interaction types, following the interaction framework it attributes to Moore (1989) and Kuo and Belland (2016): learners' interaction "with the content, with the instructor, and with other learners." Instructors are advised to determine, for each type, how students will interact when designing online coursework. The framework serves as the organizing structure for the article's equity recommendations.
