Abstract
How can we design e-learning resources that will motivate and sustain learner's engagement? Most of us would probably agree that infusing appropriate interactivity is crucial in engaging learners and providing necessary support for developing higher-level cognitive skills. However, beyond this common understanding, the topic on interactivity appears to be filled with a vast array of competing, and sometimes confusing, theories and research findings. At our institution, we have developed a simple classification system to guide the design of appropriate interactive activities for our e-learning resources. In this paper, I would describe this classification system, giving examples pertaining to vocational education developed by our lecturers.
