Un tour d'horizon sur la question par Malinka Ivanova

The deputy director of eduction at the Taubman Museum of Art located in Roanoke, VA (see http://taubmanmuseum.org). has designed, and recently had created, a Web-based Art Interactive Tool (WAIT) that allows users to interact with works in the permanent collection in a unique manner. Using a scaffolding interpretive model that he also designed (REED-LO), users, through WAIT, formulate an interpretation of a work of art in the collection. WAIT provides the user with guiding questions and allows users to record their thoughts online - in the end, they publish their overall interpretation of the work of art online. Teachers can create, for free, "classrooms" through WAIT that includes all of their students. They can then assign a specific work of art to their students. The students then access the work using a unique username and password. After they publish their interpretations, the teacher can approve each interpretation which then allows the students to access what their peers wrote about the work of art as well as the "expert" essay related to the work. In essence WAIT allows users to formulate a personal meaning of a work of art before reading what others have written about the work. WAIT can be found both through the Taubman Museum of Art's website, under the "Learn" section, or by going to www.waitarttool.com - it is free to use.

How can interaction be used effectively in online learning? To help you answer this question, we present video interviews with six experienced practitioners from across the disciplines. Each practitioner focuses on a particular aspect of online learning and suggests strategies for using interaction as a tool in online and Web-enhanced courses. The interviews are arranged to begin with the planning stage, proceed to online teaching in action, and end with an overview of the direction of online learning. Each interview is also available in audio and text versions and is accompanied by links to related resources.
