  The main purpose of this article is to provide viewers with different e-learning curriculum designs and a specific conceptual model to help support involvement and interaction within an online course. The main points of the article were to discuss different learning theories that work for adult online classes and to help the adult stay engaged within an class. The main theory that this article supports is the On-line Curriculum Interaction Model. This model suggest that professors need to make sure there are many interaction tools that students can use (chat rooms, discussion threats, videos, etc…) to successfully complete a course. This article does not support the theory of constructivist learning approach, because the author believes that adults learner need to include his/her own experiencing, and work related issues. Finally, I do believe the findings of this article because as an adult learning, I do need real life scenarios, and I do have better success when my online classes include different interactive tools. The viewer who would find this information useful would be teacher/professors who would be teaching adults through distance education.
