EdTech: Effective communication for learners

Technology can help with making it easier to communicate in terms of its reach and immediacy but can also be a means to misreading what was intended by how it is received.

Interesting I think more examples needed for better understanding
Useful information in a very short course.
Good course
Good ideas but the title of the module is very broad
Some excellent examples provided to illustrate key messages
This was simple but really useful; I liked the 7 rules on the checklist; this would make a great downloadable resource.
Some good practical ideas
I do not believe this is relevant to my learners. They would not benefit from this.
Very useful and informative.
good to revisit effective feedback to ensure that this is given in a supportive manner
the module was ok but i would of liked more explanation in the video to help me to better understand.
A good refresher
The first sentence did not make sense. Otherwise very good in its clarity!
This is vital for sharing with learners both in the classroom and online as they work together. Remembering the written word can be misunderstood.
Pretty obvious and not really relevant to my role.
Useful to consider communication styles that differ on line
The checklist on appropriate communication covers all the ways the class can discuss content of online messages appropriately
I will definitely be doing this with my learners.
Clear positive way to respond
The questions all seemed to be correct I wouldnt say that there was any incorrect way to communicate from your example
nothing relevent to my role nothing relevent to my role nothing relevent to my role
Some clear examples of positive methods of feedback given
Good as it highlights the need to be visual and give concise feedback
Effective
I like the list.
Great for teaching netiquette
It was interesting.
Underlines the need for ensuring any reference material that is used is definitive and fact based. That the evidence can be checked and verified.
