Our group seemed to think that the following three ways of communication were effective, especially when taking an online course.

The first way of communication we thought effective was e-mail.  Using e-mail is normally recommended, if not required to use while in an online course.  Even for traditional classroom settings, using e-mail to contact your classmates or the teacher is a great way to keep updated.  Being a part of the new technology world, we seem to all know how to use e-mail and tend to check them regularly.  It's also good because messages are private so that only those that you send the e-mail to, can view it.

The second way of effective communication is through a type of forum.  Our class is able to use the forums on Laulima.  Forums seem to really be helpful, especially for group discussions.  Because we normally are not able to meet up, the forum board allows us to post our thoughts and information in an organized manner, and we can always review them if needed.

The last way of communication we thought works well is contact through texting via cellphone. A lot of us seem to already own a cellphone and texting has been a major communication tool.  Because we normally have our cellphone on us at all times, it's very easy to send and receive text messages almost immediately.  If that doesn't work, there is always calling as well.
