Difficulty in communication not a problem.
Sunday, November 30th, 2008
As always, effective communication is critical to success on and off the computer and I am not just talking about online classes. It’s even more important in the online class environment because your instructor can’t see your frown, or hear the question in your voice. Here, you’ll be responsible for initiating more contact, for being persistent and vocal when you don’t understand something. Your instructor wants to help so please write your question and send it along, express your confusion, your concern, and be direct! You will save a lot of time, and both you and your instructor will know better what you intend. Be sure and ask about anything and everything that has to do with course content, course procedure and evaluation. In this type of environment, you can never be too sure if the thoughts that you have on your mind, or the questions that you have for your professor to make them clear and to receive in return the correct answers for your understanding is some what difficult to process in the beginning but later on you will get used to clarifying things and explaining more clearly. This way, when you are faced with a question in actuality or in real life, you should be used to answering and defining clearly and properly and people will like you a lot for it because you are easy to talk to and easy to understand and vice-versa. Remember, a clear voice is key in real life to clarify things, but over the Internet for online classes, a clear thought is the way to go.
