Lesson
Communicating and
1 Collaborating Using ICT

With internet and social media, the world has become a much smaller place,
with the capability of interacting with anyone from anywhere in the world, at
anytime we choose.

As a result, the way we work has changed. No longer are we tied down to
our desks, as it is becoming more frequent for employees to choose to work
remotely. To accommodate this shift, employers are adapting and finding
new ways through technology. Using mobile devices, adopting audio and
video conferencing and other systems, businesses can adjust to maintain
effective communication.

Notes to the Teacher

ICT plays an important role in our daily lives. It can improve the
quality of human life if used in a safe and responsible manner.

3
Technological advancements have shifted the way we conduct business and
how we communicate with our staff and customers. ICT allows pupils to
screen and deal with their own learning, think fundamentally and
imaginatively, take care of reenacted true issues, work cooperatively, take
part in moral dynamic, and embrace a worldwide point of view towards
issues and thoughts. It additionally gives pupils from remote territories
access to teachers and learning assets.

Be that as it may, access to ICT in the area's schools is restricted because of

foundation imperatives, an absence of speculation and examination into the
employments of ICT in instruction, and an absence of limit of instructors
and school pioneers to utilize ICT to improve the nature of educating and
learning.

Audio Conferencing is a meeting among three or more persons in different

locations that typically uses handheld wired telephones, speakerphones or
mobile phones. Since audio is used during this conference, it is a must to
have a clear transmission of everyone's voice.

On the other hand, Video Conferencing is a meeting among participants in

different locations that typically uses computer networks to transmit both
audio, text and video data. In order to participate in a video conference, you

4
must have a video camera, microphone, speakers and video conferencing
software along with your computer with internet access.

The main advantage of video conferencing over audio conferencing is

that participants can see each other which allows them to develop a
stronger sense of familiarity.

Audio and Video Conferencing Guidelines

Before the conference starts, consider the following:

 Look (for formal video conferencing) – be concerned about your

appearance especially if the conference is formal. Dark or neutral
colors of clothing are recommended.

 Equipment - Make sure to setup your equipment ahead of the

scheduled conference so you can do testing of your camera, headset
and microphone. Test also the connection early on.

 Preparations (for formal conferencing) - In case the conference is

formal, you must prepare for the agenda of the meeting as well as
other materials needed such as pictures, presentations, name tags
and others for video conferencing.

 Venue (for formal conferencing) - In case the conference is formal, you

must ensure that the venue is quiet. For video conferencing, the
overhead lights and reflections must not be placed in the camera's
view. Be aware of the potential distractions.

During the conference, consider the following:

 Wait until the speaker is finished talking before you respond since
there will be a slight delay before you can hear what the speaker is
saying.
 Be courteous and respectful.
 Keep the microphone muted when you are not speaking.
 Avoid excessive movement during a video conference.
 Speak clearly.

After the conference, leave the venue the way it was setup when you arrived.

Benefits of using audio and video conferencing in business:

Reduces travel expenses – It was not that long ago when all business
meetings happened face-to-face, which involved travel, time and expense.
However, through audio and video conferencing a company can save a lot of
time and money.

Increases productivity – Audio and video conferencing can be conducted at

any time, so you do not have to waste additional time organizing the meeting
like you did before. You can easily start an audio and video call through
your PC, mobile or other device simply, increasing efficiency and
productivity.

It’s effective communication – Not only can you hear people’s voices,
through video conferencing you can also see the people you are talking to,
see their expressions, body language and instant responses. It’s much more
effective than traditional email.

Builds good relationships with your clients – If your client has a technical
problem, a video call can offer a quick and simple way to resolve the
situation. Not only can they explain what the issue is, they can show you,
and you can then guide them through how to solve it quickly and efficiently.

Keep connected to your employees – If you have employees working from

home or out on the road through audio and video conferencing you can
always keep in contact with them. It is an extremely convenient way to stay
in touch.

9
Improves teamwork – If you have large teams or members of staff at
different locations, video conferencing will help to unite them. Employees
can share information and collaborate to make better informed decision,
which will lead to better working relationships internally.
