Abstract

This study sought to explore students' attitudes toward four types of interaction in the online learning environment: instructional, affective, collaborative, and vicarious interactions. The results indicated that students had significant differences in their attitudes toward the four types of interaction. Learners' attitudes were related to their course satisfaction, and their attitudes significantly predicted course satisfaction. The findings of this study offered some explanation of college students' attitudes toward online interaction, and should help educators better understand how to make online learning more satisfying to the students.
