In the video, we discuss the different levels of interactivity in eLearning.
​
Interactive eLearning focuses on the experience- learners are actively engaged in the learning and all the other levels are integrated into this level. The learning experience is crucial.
​
We can equate this leveling to the SAMR model which stands for Substitution level (eReading), Augmentation level (eLearning), Modification level (advanced eLearning), and redefinition (Interactive eLearning).

Note: Creative Commons
As part of digital citizenship, it is important to consider plagiarism and copyright laws. There are a number of Creative Commons licenses to understand, not to mention the concepts of locating, saving, and attributing images. Again, going through this process repeatedly can take away from the actual learning intentions for your lesson.
​
Tip: Not sure what the difference between copyright and Creative Commons is?
Copyright means the person who took the photo (or created the work) does not allow anyone to use it. Everything that’s published online is protected by copyright by default. Creative Commons means the person who took the photo (or created the work) does allow people to use it IF they agree to certain terms, called licenses.
Resource: poster
The facilitator will guide you through these licensing and help you to understand through the following guided activity.
