Özet

The aim of this study is to examine interaction capability of cloud-based environments for ebooks. In this regard, the first part of the study presents the definitions, terms and related literature for cloud-based reading environments. Considering that interaction is one of the vital elements of learning processes in Open and Distance Learning (ODL), it is especially vital to meet this need. For this purpose, this study examines cloud-based reading environments through the lenses of connectivism, Web 2.0, elearning 2.0, mass interaction, and collaborative learning. In this study, not only Web 2.0 tools, but also cloud-based ebook environments are examined considering the limitations and strengths of these tools for ODL environments.
