Solution:
Communication in On-line Learning System
Communication on your part:
1. Its better and easy way to ask for the queries through MDBS and emails, firstly because in conventional class sometimes student get embarrassed to ask anything second time, the reason could be his/her follow students and teacher as well they might think that what a dull person he/she is asking the same question again and again, secondly sometimes its difficult to understand through verbal communication whereas in writing we get the response of our query with an example.
2. Usually students discuss the topics related to their course, if they don’t get accurately or don’t comprehend the situation from video lectures and handouts then they post their queries related to their particular topic.
3. No! As far as concerned about assistance related to personal matters being a student i would like to say it’s not suitable because online teachers are for the assistance of our study not for our personal matters and if anyhow we ask from our teachers about our personal matters they must refuse to talk about issues of this kind.
4. Although the relationship of a student with his/her teacher is very respectable and being a student its our duty to respect our teachers but here the scenario is differ because interacting face to face is something else other person understands what he/she trying to say in which manner from body language, expressions etc but in online studies case we ain’t negotiate or interact like face to face communication so we should treat our teacher as our instructor and ask him/her questions to the point which don’t bother them.
Communication on Teacher’s Part:
5. The teacher’s responses in form of MDBs and Emails played a vital role in our grades and in CGPA as well because if they don’t assist us and don’t response our queries answers then it will be very difficult to understand which we try to comprehend our own. The responses clear our concepts and cut out hazards related to any topic and develop the understanding better.
6. No doubt favoritism always takes place in any conventional university but in online learning system there is nothing like favoritism teachers treats all students equally whether he/she gets good grades or bad.
7. Yes! Obviously students should incorporates teacher’s suggestions and comments in study or work because they are teachers, got loads of knowledge if students don’t take their suggestion and comments seriously then they won’t be a successful person in their lives, teachers comments/suggestion could be for appraisal or could be for improvements it depends on us how and in which sense we take them, if they comment for improvements that’s for our own good then we should understand that next time we struggle hard and don’t do that mistake again and if they give us some good and appraisal comments then we have to keep our image always like that.
