Skill: Communicate 2.1.3 Ongoing Communication Quest



Integrating the ideas presented in Communicate: Stakeholders quests, create a blog post in which you discuss reasons why effective communication remains an essential part of online instruction. In the blog post, create an example of an ongoing communication that could be sent to all stakeholders. Ensure the product is creative, informative, and adheres to FERPA guidelines.

As Frances Bacon said “Knowledge is power.”  Effective communication helps all stakeholders have the knowledge that they need to  be successful in the course. Communication from the teacher to students/parents should help them realize important dates, course progress, Extra Learning Opportunities etc. Communication needs to occur daily in the LMS through emails, news announcements, or even phone calls.  To help stay motivated students need to see that instructors are invested in this course and their learning. Parents need to be aware of heir child’s progress and what opportunities are out there to help their student succeed.

There are several ways to communicate with stakeholders, but some creative ways include newsletters, fun news announcements, and phone messages.  Adding fun news announcements to the home page is a great way to get student’s attention when they log in. They should remind students of events, deadlines, provide enrichment, or words of encouragement.
Here is an example of a message I made using Typorama free templates:
