Lesson learned from the module “Technology tools for effective communication” predicates on Innovative learning experience and this is focused on making learners active participants, improving clarity, interaction, and collaboration rather than passive content consumers. Below is a structured explanation, followed by how I would apply these ideas in online education courses.

1. Innovative Learning Experiences Using Technology Tools

a. Interactive Communication Platforms

Tools such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Slack support real-time dialogue through chat, breakout rooms, polls, and reactions. These features encourage:

Immediate feedback
Peer-to-peer interaction
Collaborative problem-solving

Innovation: Learning becomes conversational instead of lecture-driven.

b. Multimedia-Based… >>>

I enjoyed learning better to appreciate generational learning and communication styles, but I think it is important to never stereotype any student. 

I liked identifying rubrics as essential parts of establishing a patter of communications I2S, particularly. 

Reminded me as an instructor to be continually checking how tech comms are working, what might need improving, etc. in the formative stages, and not only summative. 

Whether a student is intrinsically or extrinsically motivated, we can help them succeed in an online learning environment by connecting the material to their life and goals, which is also an avenue to help them trouble shoot scheduling the proper amount of working time needed for task completion. 

As I continue to grow my technological skill set I must never forget that my students are also on a learning journey. Regardless of age or degree, people have varied experience with technology and can always benefit from a how to and a good community engaged approach to exploring technology in the class. 

I plan to demonstrate proper communication, reading and writing skills in my recorded, written and interactive course materials. Sharing tips and best practices are always best encoded when shown and lived by the instructor. 

Understanding how to support students online with motivation and any special needs is essential and I will work to build my acumen in both regards to ensure student success. 

I learned good techniques to build healthy relationships with my students and how to make them feel seen.

I learned that good communication is measured by clarity, consistency, and how well it supports student understanding and engagement. I plan to apply this by giving timely, meaningful feedback, using clear expectations, and ensuring my communication consistently supports learning goals.
