What is interactive learning?  This is learning through the use of computer technology or electronic media (LMS).  If you have ever sat through a long lecture taking notes and your instructor was going so fast you couldn’t write down everything, then we understand your pain.  This is why interactive learning is a much better way to learn.  If you don’t understand something you can watch the video over and over again until you can finally say eureka!
