Gcu's Online Communication: Personal Experiences

182 Words1 Page

In my experience so far with GCU 's online discussion forums, I have found that I actually quite enjoy corresponding via the forum. I think for me the big reason is that with online written communication, students have the ability to carefully construct questions and responses without the fear of negative backlash. Likewise, I feel that written communication online is also quite easier since it lacks others traditional classroom distractions such as time limitations and other students who may interrupt either the student or the professor. Although on the other hand, I think whether or not a student finds this method uncomfortable or not largely depends on how they feel about their skills of verbal English as compared to written communication.
