The Effect Of Online Learning On Communication Between Teachers And

Students During Covid-19 Pandemic

Introduction:
Communication especially in the education sector needs to be studied as communication
between instructors and students has the ability to improve the learning experience and to
create a positive setup. Communication is simply the transfer of information from one person
to another, or group to another. Effective communication is a process of exchanging ideas,
thoughts, knowledge and information in such a way as to fulfill the purpose or intent in the
best possible way. In other terms, it is nothing more than the sender’s expression of views in a
way that the recipient understands best.

The aim of online communication is the same as that of face-to-face communications:

bonding; exchanging information; being heard and being understood. Fostering a sense of
community in online classes will make the students’ learning experience more meaningful
and it can help them stay connected during the course life. When instructors communicate
with students, whether in a face-to-face class or an online class, they communicate for the
purpose of offering knowledge or having information to gain understanding and develop
relationships. Communicating with students in an online environment requires a little more
thought and planning than communicating with students in the traditional environment
because the online environment lacks body language. Instructors have the advantage of
using body language and facial expression in a face-to-face class to help them connect and get
their message across to their students. When interacting in an online class, instructors do not
have the advantage of using body language to help their students communicate. Knowledge
of communication weaknesses within online environments can help them decide how to
establish timely and appropriate communications, and how to interact effectively with their
online students.
