We, as humans, fear the unknown, and change is after often at the root of our fears. One of the greatest catalysts for change is today’s rapid technological development, but the concept of traditional education has always been the same. Even that is changing, and as to be expected, there is a substantial amount of fear and apprehension towards distance education. With this, students are presented the chance to overcome of a

Thus, communication is an important precursor to work productivity. Miller (2012) identifies three styles of communication content that are often seen in organizations: task- related, innovation-related, and maintenance-related (which is social communication). How this content is used and portrayed changes with each organization but most theories state that task- related content is the most important and should continue to be implemented. This case study will analyze how social communication is maintained and perfected at Brass Taps by touching on their strict communication and the face-face communication they use to achieve such.

To obtain answers to the concerns previously listed, an 8 week study of students in an online class was conducted. This study consisted of monitoring online communication and classroom activity among students with different backgrounds with geographical location and age being two of the main contributing factors.

Currently, students around the country, even the world, have the choice to either attend a class face-to-face with a teacher inside a classroom or computer-generated classes in online colleges or Universities. Even though they are similar, the differences between the two are somewhat remarkable. Obviously both types of learning require instructions and some form of assessment and they differ in terms of the learning process and communication.

Education is the process of acquiring general knowledge, developing the people’s powers of reasoning and judgment which prepares them for life. The world has been developing especially with technologies such as: the computers, the Internet, and advanced electronic devices are becoming essential in our daily life. This led to the education, development also, which changed the way of reading, writing, and manipulate numbers. There are many types of education, and while the popularity is the traditional education, online education is becoming popular also. Online education is a type of distance education without the need to attend a classroom in school or university. Instead, students and teachers interact over

Communication plays a major part in our everyday life, if we did not communicate with each other we could not learn, develop relationships or even progress and it is very important to make sure that the best provision is created for all. Different methods can be used as a way of communicating but the way we express it can have

Distance education is defined as “the interplay between people who are teachers and learners, in environments that have the special characteristic of being separate from one another, and a consequent set of special teaching and learning behaviors (Moore and Kearsley, 1996, p. 200).” If Moore and Kearsley’s (1996) three interactions of student- content, student-teacher, student-student, are incorporated into the existing support system, these goals can be achieved. Most children in these areas are not provided with the opportunities or necessities to get the education they deserve. Access to a school setting is often limited, if not non-existence. Distance education provides an opportunity for most of these children to receive a quality education. Since student- teacher and student-student interaction are limited, a strong learner support system is needed. The challenges presented above call for a solution. There are three recommendations that need to be proposed or changed to the existing support system to meet this

Distance learning (education) has become an integral part of the education process over the past few decades and is growing in popularity as technology advances.(Willis 1992) describes distance education (as) "the organizational framework andprocess of providing instruction at a distance. Distance education takes place when ateacher and student(s) are physically separated, and technology…(is) used to bridge theinstruction gap." (Coutts 1996). Furthermore, "distance learning activities are designedto fit the specific context for learning, the nature of the subject matter; intended learningoutcomes, needs and goals of the learner, the learner's environment and the instructional echnologies and methods." (American

On the other hand, an online course permits students the option and availability to enroll in a vast array of course choices regardless of their location. In so doing, it allows a student a unique opportunity to further their education anywhere in the world. After all, if one is in the United States or on a military base in Japan students can still attain an education from their home country and in their mother tongue via the Internet. However, lessons that take place in a physical classroom are confined to that location. Thus, students situated within the nearby vicinity of the school building typically can access the instructor’s lessons. Consequently, this creates a clear disadvantage to any student residing outside of the classroom’s surrounding area.

What the life would be like without communication? As it has been said that human being is a communicative object, and the humanitarian cannot be established without a communication system (Harris, Nelson, 2008). As a result of that, communication is imperative for human being to interact with people, nature in order to survive and live in a secure life. As Harris & Nelson (2008) indicated communication is the way of sharing our ideas, and feelings with people. In addition to the importance of communication, communication is not only important in our life but in any organization. According to that Harris and Nelson (2008) communication plays a major role in all activities in workplace. Also Greenbaum, Clampitt, Willihnganz (1988) emphasized that communication is an important tool to achieve the organization’s effectiveness “ communication is of fundamental importance in the operation of all organizations, and a knowledge of the efficiency of the general communication system in vital to achieve high levels of organizational effectiveness” (p. 245). Communication within an organization is defined as groups of people have exact goal, and they work to accomplish this goal. They can interact by messages; these messages could be transferred from person to another through, writings, face to face or channels (Papa, Daniels, & Spiker, 2007). Later on, scholars focused more on the flow of information and the quality of information not just the concept of flowing the information

Google Inc. is a global technology leader focused on improving the way people connect with information. They were incorporated in California in 1998 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2003. They maintain the largest, most comprehensive index of websites and other content all of which is free with any Internet connection. The corporation’s mission is as follows:

However, it is also one of the most secretive organizations in the world.

Education is an important part of people’s lives; it will either make them or break them in the future depending on the careers they choose. Education is greatly diverse today in comparison to the 1950s because of advancements in teaching and other great inventions that provide easier techniques of teaching. One major issue that has been raised is distant learning courses and online education.

Online distant learning programs help make the easy connection of students in a program connect to the more accessible home environment in a simple way. Students are now given the option of getting their education and making their own schedules, without going through a second person in an easy more efficient way. Consequently, to succeed in online courses and programs the student must have good time management, a computer or laptop, and internet connection. Also online distant learning programs are subjectively done through monologue, not our dialogue; having been previously filmed and then posted on the internet stating course information, not caring about the viewers, or if the

Despite these benefits, there are also some serious detriments to use of online teaching. There is possible dehumanisation from continued use of online teaching meaning that the repetitive nature of connecting to the Internet to do work can lead to people being seen more as automatons than people. The lack of face-to-face contact that occurs with the increase in users of online teaching can be seen as leading to a deficiency of in-group experiences (Demirdjian 2002). Other drawbacks of online teaching relate directly to the technological aspects and lack of contact. Teachers cannot rely on classroom theatrics to get ideas across to students, sometimes the curriculum needed cannot be found or used online and computer crashes can prevent students from accessing
