E-tivities generally involve the tutor providing a small piece of information, stimulus or challenge, which Salmon refers to as the 'spark'. Learners then take part in an online discussion or activity which requires them to respond in some way to the 'spark'. This generally involves each learner proving an individual response and then commenting on, or contributing to, that presented by other group/course members. A summary, feedback or critique is then provided, often by the e-moderator but in some cases it may be provided by the learners themselves.

E-tivity
E-tivity is a term coined by Professor Gilly Salmon (2002) to describe a framework for facilitating active learning in an online environemt. An E-tivity involves learners interacting with oneanother and with the course tutor (who Salmon refers to as the e-moderator) in an online communication environment (e.g bulletin board/chat room) in order to complete a particular task.

Dear Phil, Thank yous so much for your information, I didn't knew that, but there is a point, in academic text books, E-tivity is something like electronic activity. the word is repeated more than 10 times in the book "Understanding New Media".
