Abstract
Will increasing the level of interaction help students or is it just another time consuming task for already busy students? According to Karen Swan [7] one may increase learning effectiveness through interaction in four general ways: interaction with content; interaction with instructors; interaction with classmates; and interaction with course interface. The aim of this paper is to consider how one may enhance interaction with instructors and classmates through the use of virtual collaboration, voice, and video. Virtual collaboration provides the students the ability to meet course, individual, and team goals; create class and team learning communities; collaborate on document development; and successfully complete team projects. Voice feedback enhances interaction and facilitates timely feedback, often a missing component in asynchronous education. A properly produced video motivates students and focuses their energy through engagement and excitement. Our research indicates virtual collaboration, voice, and video provides an unprecedented level of interaction in asynchronous online IS education. This paper chronicles the lessons learned from an innovative Great Plains university.
