Anna Ólafsdóttir and Ásrún Matthíasdóttir13 Communication with the help of technology  Can give the students a new feeling of freedom They can communicate and answer questions wherever They are and whenever they want  Can also distract from the discussion Attendance can be poor or late Spontanity in answering and brainstorming may be lost  The student can make use of the personal anonymity the web offers but the quality of the communication depends on the organization and the tools used as well as the role of the students and the teachers

Anna Ólafsdóttir and Ásrún Matthíasdóttir22 Online- Communication...What for?  Can serve as an effective tool to increase student activity in courses  Strengthens collaborative work amongst the students and encourages critical reflection through various forms of interaction amongst teachers, learners and content  Online communication as an assessment tool offers many opportunities for peer-evaluation

Anna Ólafsdóttir and Ásrún Matthíasdóttir23 Online Discussion – cont.  Effective way to promote deep-learning (Entwistle, 2001) Main strengths or advantages: -More time for reflective thinking than in real-time discussions -The fact that students have to put their thoughts into written words often broadens and deepens the discussions -Some students are less shy when expressing their thoughts and opinions in web-discussion than in classroom discussion -Powerful tool for evaluation work, especially to involve students in the assessment

Anna Ólafsdóttir and Ásrún Matthíasdóttir24 Online- discussion – cont.  Can be of various forms: Formal, topic centered, graded Informal – voluntary, open one-to-one discussions Whatever form is used it is necessary to integrate online- discussion into the learning experience if it is to become a useful tool in the study (Wallace, 2001)

Anna Ólafsdóttir and Ásrún Matthíasdóttir25 Online Chat  Most VLE platforms have inbuilt chat-facilities  A lot of free chat-facilities on the Internet (e.g. MSN ) Can be used for teacher-student meetings, one on one or for meetings with student-groups e.g. in project-work Can also be used in student-groups for the same purpose without the teacher being involved Teacher can be online for students on MSN during office hours

Anna Ólafsdóttir and Ásrún Matthíasdóttir26 Online chat – cont.  Advantages Useful tool in building up a class-culture within the student group, especially important when it comes to distance education students reduces the risk of distance-education students feeling alone and isolated in their study  Disadvantages Students sometimes tend to use online-chat meeting with the teacher as a kind of FAQ – hour, can turn into a rather chaotic, frustrating event when many students attend the meeting ( Gunn and Barnett, 2001)

Anna Ólafsdóttir and Ásrún Matthíasdóttir27 Conclusion  For the generation now knocking on the door of the university online communication is just a part of everyday life  Challenging task for policy makers having totally different technological background to understand their needs  The Internet-generation: -Has been living with computers and the Internet all their lives -Technology has played a vital role in their study, communication and hobbies -Expect to see the possibilities technology offers being used in the utmost sense (Nasseh, 2000)  Is the university fully prepared to meet the demands of this generation?
