Good discussion which proposes a much wider view of what is meant by interaction in online classes. Two of the three recommendations are close to my heart: they both deal with large scale interaction beyond the scope of an individual class. As the authors comment (and I so agree with this): "Faculty members and faculty developers can and should go far beyond the conventional classroom, faculty office, and dormitory room as the metaphors for the setting and nature of student communication." By Stephen C. Ehrmann and Mauri Collins, to appear in the September 2001 issue of Educational Technology Magazine.
