GATHERING AND ORGANIZING INFORMATION USING ICT

26 of 59

Advantages & Disadvantages of using online tools to gather data

28 of 59

Flexibility: accessible 24×7, any place as long as you have an internet connection

29 of 59

Levelling: reserved people who usually don’t speak up can say as much as they like while “loud” people are just another voice and can’t interrupt

30 of 59

Documented: unlike verbal conversation, online discussion is lasting and can be revisited

31 of 59

Encourages reflection: participants don’t have to contribute until they’ve thought about the issue and feel ready

32 of 59

Relevance: provides a place for real life examples and experience to be exchanged

33 of 59

Choice: a quick question or comment, or a long reflective account are equally possible

34 of 59

Community: over time can develop into a supportive, stimulating community which participants come to regard as the high point of their course

35 of 59

Limitless: you can never predict where the discussion will go; the unexpected often results in increased incidental learning

36 of 59

DISADVANTAGES

37 of 59

Text-based: Predominantly relies on inputting text which can be challenging for those who don’t like to write or have poor keyboard skills, but with the advance of broadband connectivity and voice and video conference technology – this will be less of an issue.

38 of 59

No physical cues: without facial expressions and gestures or the ability to retract immediately there’s a big risk of misunderstanding

39 of 59

Information overload: a large volume of messages can be overwhelming and hard to follow, even stress-inducing

40 of 59

Threads: logical sequence of discussion is often broken by users not sticking to the topic (thread)

41 of 59

Time lag: even if you log on daily, 24 hours can seem like a long time if you’re waiting for a reply; and then the discussion could have moved on and left you behind

42 of 59

Inefficient: it takes longer than verbal conversation and so it’s hard to reply to all the points in a message, easily leaving questions unanswered

43 of 59

Isolation: some learners prefer to learn on their own and don’t participate in the discussions

44 of 59

Directionless: participants used to having a teacher or instructor telling them what to do can find it a leaderless environment (and that’s where tutors come in
