Use of communication tools in teaching and learning

After the arrival of coronavirus in Bhutan on 6th march, the schools and the colleges in the country remained closed.  During this time the use of communication tools in teaching and learning became important. The teacher was asked to teach the students online. So to teach online, different communication tools such as WeChat, Vle, Google classroom, zoom,  and skype was used to interact, share information with the students, and to keep track of the lesson.



 Through the use of these tools, we can discuss, share, and ask our doubts as to if we are in a real classroom. Moreover, we get the opportunity to interact with our tutor frequently compare to the real classroom.

Out of many communication tools, I was familiar with google meet, vle forum, WeChat, and email as we were taught the lesson using these tools through video conferencing, video, and audio.  During our online classes so far, the above-mentioned tools have helped us understand new knowledge and concepts better. These virtual tools are a good substitute for face to face interaction, especially at a time like this where we cannot have access to face to face teaching and learning. I feel comfortable and convenient to learn through these communicative tools because they add excitement to our lesson and we show extra interest in learning too.

The following picture shows how we have use communication tools in our teaching and learning:
