The university lecture is, for example, a paradigmatically passive non-participatory activity; simple “page-turning” multimedia may provide the learner with some degree of engagement in the learning process, but may still be “inter-passive” rather than properly interactive; high-quality multimedia should involve the learner in active task-based problem-solving.
Predictor: Hutchison, Chris
Prediction, in context:In a 1995 article, “The ‘ICP OnLine’: Jeux sans frontires on the CyberCampus,” from the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Chris Hutchison of the School of Information Systems, Kingston University, discusses education online. He lists three parameters “along which successful learning may be measured.” The second of the three is:ÒParticipatory Learning – the extent to which the learner is enabled to participate actively in the learning process. The university lecture is, for example, a paradigmatically passive non-participatory activity; simple ‘page-turning’ multimedia may provide the learner with some degree of engagement in the learning process, but may still be ‘inter-passive’ rather than properly interactive; high-quality multimedia should involve the learner in active task-based problem-solving.Ó
