Information technology has brought tremendous changes in education. The most significant change is fastening communication and interaction between teacher and student. According to Garside (1996) and Eggen and Kauchack [1988], teaching approaches that utilized group discussions produced significantly more learning in terms of students' critical thinking skills than traditional lecture teaching approaches. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of using NextEd to create collaborative interaction activities to enhance a traditional face-to-face physical education course. Participants were 83 students who enrolled in three physical education classes. Two groups that involved NextEd teaching were compared with one group with a traditional teaching approach. A post-test only design was used for this study, and an 18-item attitude questionnaire was used to determine student attitudes toward this NextEd innovative approach. Three types of interaction activities (instructor-to-student, student-to-student, and student-to-content) were designed and applied to a traditional physical education classroom through NextEd. A synchronous interaction (group discussion during lectures) and an asynchronous interaction activity (discussion through NextEd) were integrated to compare learning activities inside and outside of classroom. The time spent on answering questions and times of student interactions during the face-to-face lecture and on NextEd were recorded. A seven steps model of utilizing NextEd to create asynchronous interactions outside of classroom was also introduced. Results of students' responses to three asynchronous interaction activities through NextEd demonstrated much higher interactions (100% of students involvement, range from 53 to 132 interactions per topic) than face-to-face classroom discussions (7.7% of students involvement, normally 3-4 interactions per topic) between students/teacher and students. Examples of the NextEd discussions were presented to illustrate how students can obtain knowledge through asynchronous interaction activities. The results of questionnaire indicated that on the item "I enjoy using Nexted as a new approach for instruction", 95% of students selected "Agree" or "Strong Agree". The study showed that NextEd is an effective platform to support course delivery and successfully conduct the mentioned above three types of interactions. The NextEd platform enhances a face-to-face physical education classroom teaching through collaboration, and allows dynamic teaching and learning activities which transform teacher-centered educational activities into student-centered collaborative learning activity beyond the classroom. ** This study is part of research grant funded by CeLTS office of Hong Kong Institute of EducationKeyword(s): technology
