In the course, I have found that social media can be an effective tool for interacting with students.

Cuan importante es la comunicación en un entorno de educación virtual, sin duda alguna el parte del éxito del proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje depende de una eficaz comunicación por parte del instructor con el estudiante.
Existen diferentes medios tecnológicos para hacer de esa comunicación un proceso eficaz, pero todo dependerá de la función de la herramienta y tambien de las necesidades del estudiante.
