Communication skills and resources for Global Health workforce
When we communicate using technology there is a better chance of the communication to be less effective or “lost in translation”. This phenomenon can have a powerful negative effect in online education and is linked to poor results in student retention.
It is important, therefore to carefully select and vary communication opportunities and methods in online education.
Effective cross-cultural communication is strategically important to online programs. This type of communication involves an understanding of how people from different cultures speak, communicate and perceive the world around them. Language differences, nonverbal differences and power distance are major factors that can affect cross-cultural communication.
In this session, we will explore various types of communication (face to face, computer mediated, synchronized vs. asynchronized and written) and the technology that allows the communication to take place. We will also explore specific design strategies that will promote effective communication and enhance learning.
