2.1 Online Classroom Communication in a Nutshell

In an online setting, we need to plan for interactivity for both – our synchronous lessons as well as asynchronous lessons. But does interactivity look the same in both modes or different? What do you think?

Communication in SYNCHRONOUS teaching/learning

In Synchronous teaching/learning, planning for student communication and management includes the following:

SETTING NORMS
BUILDING ENGAGEMENT

INVOLVING ALL STUDENTS

Communication in ASYNCHRONOUS teaching/learning

In Asynchronous teaching/learning, planning for student communication and management includes the following:

CALENDARING & COMMUNICATION
PROCEDURES & MATERIALS
STUDENT SELF-LEARNING

In this lesson, we will be looking at each of these points more closely for both synchronous and asynchronous teaching/learning.
