“…The most widely used direct instruction method is lecturing. Interactive instruction emphasizes heavily on discussion and sharing among participants (Dubin and Taveggia, 1968;Seaman and Fellenz, 1989). It is a student-centered instruction in which students actively participate, interact, and/or discuss topics that are presented to them.…”

“…Other than teacher-learner interaction, instructional strategies also affect learning performance. As cited in Chen et al (2012), educational researchers (Gallen and Bold, 1989;McNeill and Wiles, 1990;Seaman and Fellenz, 1989) have classified instructional strategies in traditional classroom education into five categories: (1) direct instruction, (2) indirect instruction, (3) interactive instruction, (4) independent study, and (5) experiential learning. Two of the most important and widely used instructional strategies are direct instruction and interactive instruction.…”

Many higher education institutions have used Internet technology to develop virtual education for a new generation of college students. In this research, the authors assessed the relative effectiveness of two technology-mediated learning environments for synchronous higher education compared to a traditional face-to-face learning environment. Specifically, they assessed the effects of these three learning environments on interactivity, perceived learning, and satisfaction when different instructional strategies were used. The authors' findings suggest that learning environments interact with instructional strategies to affect the learners' perception of learning and satisfaction. Their findings also support the proposition that the new generation of college students prefer to interact with others using technology.

“…The most widely used direct instruction method is the lecture, in which one instructor speaks directly to a group of students. Interactive instruction is an instructional strategy that relies heavily on discussion and sharing among participants (Seaman & Fellenz, 1989). In interactive instruction sessions, students actively participate, interact, and/or discuss topics that are presented to them.…”

Many higher education institutions have set up virtual classrooms in the 3-D virtual world. In this research, the authors assess the relative effectiveness of a 3-D virtual world learning environment, Second Life, compared to traditional face-to-face learning environment. They also assess the effects of instructional strategies in these two learning environments on interactivity, perceived learning, and satisfaction. The authors’ findings suggest that learning environment interacts with instructional strategy to affect the learners’ perceived learning and satisfaction. Specifically, when interactive instructional strategy is used, there is no significant difference for perceived learning and satisfaction between the 3-D virtual world and face-to-face learning environment. However, when a direct instructional strategy is used, there is a significant difference for perceived learning and satisfaction. They also assessed whether or not technology helps increase learner and instructor interaction. The result suggests that in interactive instructional sessions, students experienced a higher level of classroom interactivity in Second Life than in face-to-face classroom.
