If an interaction that does not work, then there is no result that follow the interaction process. This short piece of writing intends to describe and discuss a topic on online learning interaction. According to Barab and Thomas (2001), there are two main types of interaction, they are meaningful interaction and meaningless interaction. They function to assist communication of activities and comprehensions. Chou et al., (2010) mentioned that there are three uses of interaction, they are as follows. 1. Type of interaction: a dialogue between two or more users and also with objects. Examples of this interaction occurs between the user and other users, consumers and researchers, users interact with the system in which the system acts as an instructor, (example: downloading notes and exercises) (Evans & Sabry, 2003). 2. Interactivity dimension: Interaction examples of interaction between students, between students and instructor, and interaction between students and content (e.g. books and notes) (Muirhead & Juwah, 2005). 3. Interaction function: the characteristics of the interaction hub or medium used (e.g. email and forum). At the time when technology is rapidly improving, interactions occur not only between individual and capable individuals alone, but it can happen in the online medium, such as using computers, mobile phones and interactive platforms. In the online learning context, interaction is important for several purposes, like conveying information, giving directions, responding to an activity and other functions. This interaction is also needed for the communication of either learning or other relevant information. Hasim (2006) proposed an online educational interaction model, highlighting that the online interaction that normally occurs comprises: 1. Teacher-student interaction 2. Student-content interaction 3. Teacher-content interaction
