 Reflection on communicative tool

 

We use a variety of communicative tools in our daily lives, including the telephone, online chat, email, video conferencing, and social networking sites (blog, face book, twitter, we chat etc..). These various communication tools are used for two types of communication: synchronous and asynchronous communications. Synchronous communication is live or real-time communication, such as telephone calls, whereas asynchronous communication is not live or real time. Every day and every time, we communicate using various types of communication devices; additionally, in the educational field, various types of those tools are used for teaching and learning. Various communication tools assist both students and teachers in improving their communication skills, making learning more effective and enjoyable. Both the teacher and the student required communication skills in order to improve their teaching, learning, and interaction

Since there was no internet or other social media in the olden days, most communication was synchronous. With the advancement of technology, communication is now primarily asynchronous, as in blogs, vle, and other social media platforms, where users can receive messages and answer whenever they choose, but not at the same time.

Although the use of various communication methods offers huge benefits for all peoples, it does have significant drawbacks when used in the educational sphere. The downsides of synchronous methods of communications include that slow computer users have difficulty following up and making quick remarks for debate. Again, the number of discussion slides causes a slow connection and a loss of attention and interest in the debate. Asynchronous communication, on the other hand, consists mostly of downloading and posting files to forums or blogs, creating an additional duty for both the learner and the instructor. Furthermore, Asynchronous communication is flexible because it is dependent on the individual's willingness to publish their work. As a result, it decreases learner participation and frequency.
