Group 2: ONLINE COMMUNICATION

Introduction

Communication is one of the most essential needs in everyone's life. We need to communicate and
engage with others in order to express our thoughts and desires. Before the advent of electronic media,
there were two modes of communication: nonverbal and verbal. But thanks to the advent of the
internet today and to several devices like phones, laptops, desktops, and tablets, communication has
become online too.

What is Online Communication?

 When two people communicate with the help of the internet it is called online communication.
Nowadays it has become a lot popular because of all the benefits of online communication.
 basically, OC refers to the exchange or sharing of information through a computer network (the
Internet).
 Experts say online communication is the new face-to-face communication.
 The advent of computer-mediated communication has given man greater freedom and heavier
responsibility to survive in an online environment.
 While communication is easy, the online environment has also posed issues with security, trust,
and privacy.

Benefits of OC

 It is not unexpected that online communication is becoming more popular than

traditional forms of communication. People rely more on internet communication,
whether for personal or professional reasons. It pulls people together and brings them
closer. Here are some benefits of online communication:
1. Flexibility
2. Easy Connectivity
3. Convenient

TWO TYPES OF ONLINE COMMUNICATION

 To begin, synchronous and asynchronous are two types of online communication.

 Synchronous communication - Synchronous communication takes place at the same moment
(in real-time), yet in distinct locations. Synchronous communication is shown by the telephone.
Chat, video conferencing, Skype, and a whiteboard are some other examples. You might be used
to utilizing some of these tools to communicate with friends and family outside of the
classroom.
 Asynchronous communication - Asynchronous communication takes place at different times
and locations, allowing you to communicate at your leisure rather than in real-time. E-mail and
discussion forums are two methods that can be used for asynchronous communication. You
might also use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or blogs.

SCREEN NAMES

 These are frequently selected when participating in chat rooms but are also evident
when playing games, uploading videos, leaving online comments, and even selling items
online.
 The construct of social networks enables us to create a personal identity that is different
from what happens in physical reality.
 Given Name, Auto-generated Name, Alternative Name

Explanation: A screen name is just a name chosen by a user to represent himself or herself
when using an application. It could be a social media site, an instant messaging software, or
another type of collaborative program. While many screen names are fictitious, certain sites
require users to provide their own names. (Dagdagan nalang yung explanation para mahaba
ang exposure kapag nag report.) (Explain every bullet)

EMAIL ADDRESS (define)

 Identity construction in online communication requires the users to secure an email

address.
 Email address consists of three parts: USERNAME, DOMAIN NAME, and TOP-LEVEL
DOMAIN.

(Kayo na bahala gumawa explanation HAHAHAHA) (Habaan nyo nalang explanation para
mahaba ang exposure kapag nag report.)

USERNAME (define nyo muna what is username)

 Sometimes a person’s screen name could be used as the username.

 It comes before the “@” symbol.
 Usernames must be different in informal and formal types of online communication.
For example:
juandelacruz@cvsu.edu.ph
delacruz@gmail.com
bhosxmapagmahal_24@yahoo.com
ladyviolet93@ymail.com

(Kayo na bahala gumawa explanation HAHAHAHA) (Habaan nyo nalang explanation para
mahaba ang exposure kapag nag report.)

DOMAIN NAME (define)

 Comes after the “@” symbol.

 Reveals the service provider, profession, or affiliations.
For example:
juandelacruz@cvsu.edu.ph
delacruzljuan@gmail.com
TOP-LEVEL DOMAIN (define)

 Follows the dot (.) after the domain name.

 Reveals personal information and indication of where the email address originated.
 .edu, .gov, .mil, .org, .ph

For example:

juandelacruz@cvsu.edu.ph

delacruz@gmail.com

(Dapat ma emphasize yung pag kakaiba ng username, domain at top level sa

explanation palang)

(Saan sila ginagamit)

ONLINE CONTENT CREATION AND IDENTITY

 The internet became an instrument and site for self-expression, especially for younger
generations.
 It enables the users to share and display their thoughts, interests, talents, and other
characteristics of the self.
 CONTENT CREATORS – users who have developed or maintained a website blog or
shared creative work online.

(Kayo na bahala gumawa explanation HAHAHAHA) (Habaan nyo nalang explanation para
mahaba ang exposure kapag nag report.)

SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES

 SNS’ such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow a lot of users to connect with one
another while establishing new connections and forming relationships with people from
around the globe.
 SELF DISCLOSURE is a part of relational development, and the self is carried out through
relational connections.
 Communication scholars believed that self-disclosure occurs gradually as trust is
established in a relationship.
 SNS’ has changed the way people think about self-disclosure but also perceptions of
social value and belonging.
 Evaluations of social worth were based on the number of friends online.

(Kayo na bahala gumawa explanation HAHAHAHA) (Habaan nyo nalang explanation para
mahaba ang exposure kapag nag report.)
REMEMBER:

 Online communication is created in order for us to communicate easily with one another.
 A sense of belongingness via online communication will never be a basis to seek
validation from other people.
