'''Interactive Learning''' is a pedagogical approach that incorporates [[social networking]] and [[urban computing]] into intercoursecourse design and delivery. Interactive Learning has evolved out of the hyper-growth in the use of digital technology and virtual communication, particularly by students. Beginning around 2000, students entering institutes of higher education have expected that interactive learning will be an integral part of their education.
