Communication in online and face to face
classes is very straightforward. The very
nature of online courses limits the options
for communication. In a hybrid course,
however, you have many choices for methods of
communication. When deciding which
methods to use, think about the
characteristics of each method, the objective
for the communication and how this objective
can best be met. For example, if you
would like to use a discussion to stimulate
community within the class, it might be best
to try a discussin held in person if you have
the time before moving it to a forum online.
There is no one answer to the communication
question, but with all the options available,
there is a good possibility that at least one
solution exists that will fit your particular
situation and communication goals. For more
details on facilitating communication within
your course, see the Discussion section of
Pedagogy and Techniques.
