@article{2017,title={ASSESSMENT OF INTERACTION DIMENSIONS IN DISTANCE EDUCATION PROCESSES},abstractNode={Abstract: Interaction is located in one of the most important components of distance education. There are four types of interaction as learner-content, learner-learner, learner-instructor and learner-interface in the literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interaction types in distance education. The study was conducted with qualitative data collection methods. Case study design was used in this study and participants were selected through criterion sampling as a purposeful sampling method. Six learners and one instructors were included in the study. The data were collected through structured interview forms throughout the study. The obtained data were interpreted through thematic analysis. Some of the findings obtained from the study, it is understood that there are very weak interaction levels between learner-learner and learner-instructor. However, positive effects of the course videos can be seen when learners watching instructors online or on recorded course videos on learner’s interaction with course content and instructors. Consequently, all types of interactions specified in the literature are weak. Learners can use distance education system more effectively by interactive interface. Furthermore, learners interest in the course can be increased by interactive course contents.},author={Feyzi KAYSİ-- Emrah AYDEMİR},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
