ACTION, INTERACTION, INTERFACES: PHYSICAL INTERACTION IN E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

The interaction that occurs between students is a significant interaction that is highly investigated by international research. It appears to be extremely different between online courses and traditional ones, mainly because the configuration of the Internet excludes the possibility of physical interaction and it seems that this may have an impact on the learning of at least some students. Natural User Interfaces, making it possible to involve the whole body in human-machine interaction, and the networks of sensors linked to the IoT, being able to detect and make available a wide range of biometric data in real time, represent resources potentially able to fill the above gap.
