Professional communicating online is not different than in-person professional communication. Communication should be clean and clear and free from distractions. Keeping the message clean and allowing for the feedback with readjustments is key in keeping dialogue up to date and relevant.

I thought that the part of the lesson about a passive or aggressive approach to getting students to participate was interesting. I usually use the passive approach, emailing students who are not as engaged in the work. I think the aggressive approach might work in some cases, but it could also put students on the spot, which might make them uncomfortable.
Participation and engagement, while often used interchangeably, have distinct meanings. Participation refers to the act of taking part or being involved, while engagement signifies a deeper level of investment, connection, and emotional involvement. Think of participation as showing up, while engagement is about truly caring about the outcome and actively contributing.

Communication is the key to helping both our students be successful and ourselves.
Communication is something we can't neglect. In a face-to-face course, many questions are answered instantly. But online, that's not the case. Therefore, we must be very clear with instructions, explain how to communicate with us, and always respond courteously. Good communication avoids confusion and makes students feel supported, even if we're remote.
If we want our students to have a good online experience, we must support them not only with content, but also by helping them develop reading, writing, participation, and collaboration skills. And all of this must be accompanied by close and effective communication.
Cuántos problemas se evitarían si hiciéramos uso correcto de la comunicación. He comprendido la importancia de tomarse un tiempo para revisar un mensaje antes de enviarlo para asegurarme que lo que he pensado es lo que he escrito. No puedo dejar de lado la importancia de la retroalimentación.
