Abstract
The article provides an inβdepth analysis of previous literature that led to the understanding of the four interactive components of βeβ learning and how we can utilize these components to maximize the positive and minimize the negative results of βeβ learning. The four interactive dimensions of βeβ learning are the following three originally described in Moore's editorial (1989): (1) interaction with the content, (2) interaction with the instructor, (3) interaction with the students, and an additional new fourth dimension, interaction with the system, which considered all of the new computer technology since his article. In our viewpoint we will highlight the impact that this fourth technological interactive dimension has on the results of βeβ learning. The question then is not βto βeβ or not to βeβ,β since βeβ learning is already an essential factor of our contemporary learning environment. The question is how to βeβ, based on the understanding of the four interactive components of βeβ learning, and the understanding that these four types of interactions are different from the ones we are accustomed to in the traditional learning environment.
