This has been due to less insertion of real time multimedia and interactivity features. The synchronous interaction is less practiced compared to asynchronous interaction. The study reveals that there is a critical lack of interactivity between learners themselves enrolled in the same course, between learners and their respective tutors and between learners and system contents and interfaces. The study focused on four aspects of interactivity which are learner interaction to learner, instructor, content, and interface. In addition to interview, an intensive documentary review together with screening the design and configurations of MOODLE servers has been done. The respondents to this study were categorized as MOODLE Learners (MLs), MOODLE Instructors (MIs) and MOODLE Administrators (MA). To undertake this study, a case study methodology was opted by investigating the MOODLE platform of the Open University of Tanzania. The paper discloses the extent of poor MOODLE customization that can likely hinder the inclusion of the multimedia facilities, extent of poor online course design and lack of virtual interactivity among learners. This paper assesses the interactivity in MOODLE from both design and usage. On the other hand, instructors consider that uploading learning materials in MOODLE is enough without putting down the interactivity facilities. This is due to lack of interactivity in the system caused by poor MOODLE customization and configuration, improper content design and integration with add-on multimedia files.
