Yacci, Michael
Educational Technology, v40 n4 p5-16 Jul-Aug 2000

Examines the four major attributes to the concept of interactivity, and defines four additional variables that arise through the structural study of interaction. Outlines five common patterns that deal with content learning and two patterns that deal with affective messages. Discusses use of the structural model. (Contains 47 references.) (AEF)
