Actually, interaction among people in an E-learning environment or classroom has been proven to be central for both student and instructor satisfaction. However, the interaction or communication occurs differently, often in the form of written communication and not always in “real time” like in a classroom. Research has proven that the intentional building of community among students and faculty is essential. According to the Sloan Consortium for Online Education, “online learning is not learning in isolation, but a mechanism for being connected to a community that learns together.” This occurs most effectively through utilizing collaborative learning techniques and intentionally building into courses interaction among students and between instructors and students.
