An interactive learning platform is an educational tool that teaches through hands-on interaction rather than a simple presentation of information. This term is usually used when describing certain types of online learning, but does not necessarily exclude physical, or brick-and-mortar learning tools. The level of interaction from platforms can range from game-like activities to fully fledged projects that require advanced levels of skill and knowledge.[1][2]

Examples

MindTickle

MindTickle is an online learning platform that is used by businesses to train employees. The platform attributes its effectiveness to its use of game-like learning activities and a social learning atmosphere. One of the social tools employed by MindTickle is the use of leaderboards. These boards keep track of things like quiz scores and performance on games and calculates these results to determine which trainees are doing well. By displaying names (or more anonymous usernames) on a ranked list, MindTickle hopes to engage other trainees to reach higher. In this manner, what many new employees may view as boring or tedious can become more engaging, and therefore, more valuable.[2]

Coursera

Coursera, along with other MOOCs, is another example of an interactive learning platform. Although information is presented through reading and videos, students are supposed to complete several assignments or projects to continue enhancing knowledge. Although the interactivity of Coursera is just one component of its structure, it is vital in ensuring a student receives the maximum amount of knowledge from its courses.[3][4]
