Improving the Design of Learning Interaction: A Designerly Theoretical Approach

Learning design and technology (LTD) researchers can use the Window of Interaction framework to provide context, explanation, and critique to the field. This framework provides the opportunity to analyze the technological characteristics of different types of interactive objects, including learning objects and learning environments, while keeping in mind pedagogical affordances. Using the framework enables LDT researchers to establish a link between interactive features of learning objects and learning goals and find better ways to design interactive learning experiences.
