Abstract :
Training is a employee developmental tool. Due to the expansion of e-learning in organizations, the learner engagement is a very important issue that through learning interaction, it is possible. Learning interaction concept is a crucial component in any learning environment and also in e-learning the importance of interaction had been accepted. Despite numerous studies on the types of interactions and the effects of each of them on different variables, a small share of research is devoted to identifying methods of creating interactions especially learner-content interactions. The purpose of this study is identifying methods of creating Learner-content interactions in online learning environments because the lack of interactions in online learning environment is one of the most important problems. The methods of this research are phenomenological focus group, semi-structured interview and qualitative content analysis which have been used in order to provide a systematic review of the previous research from the website of web of science from 2009 to 2019. For validity of data we used triangulation in research methods. The results showed nine way for creating interactions between learner and content.
