混成同步學習環境中之即時互動現象

Real-time Interaction Phenomena in Blended Synchronous Learning Environments

許多學者指出良好的互動能夠維持學習者主動學習的態度、朝向學習目標前進並達成良好的學習成效。鑑於彈性學習的需求以及資訊通訊技術的成熟發展，讓網路上的影音同步即時互動成為非常可行的即時互動方式。本研究整合實體教室與網路同步教室，建構了混成同步學習環境，讓所有課程參與者都能夠在相同的時間自由選擇不同的地點來進行同步上課，以達到即時互動的效果。本研究以互動性距離理論為基礎，歸納出八個互動構面，並且據此探討存在於混成同步學習環境中的即時互動現象，最後提出改善即時互動之建議供教學者、學習者與管理者參考。

Many studies have reported that good interaction during learning process can stimulate students' positive learning attitude, hence improve learning performance. Due to the demand of flexible learning and the mature development of information communication technology, online synchronous interactions with audio/video become very feasible. This study developed a blended synchronous learning environment by integrating physical classroom and cyber synchronous classroom; such that teachers and students can choose any locations to attend classes at the same time to get the benefit of real-time interaction. Based on the theory of transactional distance, eight constructs were identified to explore real-time interaction activities in a blended synchronous learning environment. Finally, some suggestions were proposed to improve the real-time interaction in blended synchronous learning environments for teachers, students and managing staffs.
