Online Communications
Point #42

Did you know that your online course contains many tools and ways to communicate with your fellow online classmates and your instructor?

Your are not alone in a online course. You are part of a live community even though it is cyberspace. Online courses do run on a timeline and some may require intra-communications with other online course-mates and your instructor. Communication includes email, forums, live chats, webcast and document exchange. Many learning management systems and coursewawes such as: Education202, Moodle, eCollege, Blackboard, WebCT, Desire2Learn, etc, have these tools and more. Bulletinboards and announcement blocks are also a part of the communication avenue. So know that you are never alone in your online course. Be willing to use these tools. They will add to your success.

At Christina International High School communication also takes place by phone. We are more than willing and ready to communicate with our students.
