Student-to-content interaction includes students' concrete interactions with the course materials and their more abstract interactions with the concepts and ideas they present. It is more than just reading a book or watching a video. It includes but is not limited to:
- tutorials (using text, still images, audio, and/ or video)
- quizzes (if the feedback is useful and usable)
- web quests
- reading/video discussion or reflections (Reading a textbook is technically a student-to-content activity but explicitly requiring students to reflect on the reading and providing directed prompts for that reflection improves the interaction.)
- simulations (like Froguts Virtual Dissection Software)
