Abstract

Interactivity in the educational context is the measure of how much control a student has over the learning process. Though recent trends have led us to believe that interactivity is always beneficial and yields greater student outcomes, the literature does not completely support this assertion. This study compared two forms of interactivity on otherwise identical electronic lessons to measure the impact of interactivity on student achievement.
