'''Important:''' Make sure that you are clear about the difference between "interactive pedagogy", and "interactive computer applications" (such as certaintypes of multi-media, e.g. interactive video). In this professional learning resource, "interactive" always means "interactive pedagogy",i.e. people interacting with each other, not one person interacting with a computer application. | '''Important:''' Make sure that you are clear about the difference between "interactive pedagogy", and "interactive computer applications" (such as certaintypes of multi-media, e.g. interactive video).
