Interaction is a critical component of the educational process and context in online education
as it is in traditional education. A regular and efficient interaction is very important in

obtaining the desired learning outcomes in an online learning environment. According to
Holmberg's (1989) interaction and communication theory, question-answer, discussion and

collaboration play a key role in realizing effective teaching. Different types of interaction,

(learner-content interaction, learner-instructor interaction and learner-learner interaction) are
crucial in online education In this context, the assumptions suggested by the relevant theory

are:
-At the center of teaching is the interaction between the learner and the teacher, and this

interaction allows students to participate in the lesson with different views, approaches and

solutions.
-Having a sense of belonging in participating in learning environments and being comfortable

communicating with the teacher make learning enjoyable.
-Taking pleasure in learning increases the student's motivation.

-Participation in instructional decision-making processes increases student motivation

- High student motivation supports learning.
- Friendliness and ease of access make learning enjoyable. This increases student motivation

and ensures effective learning.
-The effectiveness of teaching is demonstrated by what the student has learned.
