Levels of Interactivity

I have argued in the past that interactivity is multi-faceted, varying across several dimensions. So you may conclude that I would consider a one-dimensional set of 'levels of interactivity' to be just wrong - and you would be right. This link proposes one approach to such a definition: the U.S. Army (according to a post (without a link) to VNU's OLNews) uses a similar but slightly different set of levels. These lists talk about whether learners can set their own path through the material, rotate switches, or control presentation. Interaction with other humans is not mentioned in either set of lists - a serious omission, it seems to me. Defining 'interaction' with a single 'level' is, in my opinion, simply wrong.
