Quick Tip (#1) Online Group Projects

  1. Your first paragraph seems to say that the “golden rule” applies even in Internet communications. I completely agree. I am interested in hearing how certain nonvisual clues in communication manifest themselves in digital communications. For example, if I were to wave my hands excitedly when telling a story to a person face-to-face, how would I communicate that digitally (if the video were not involved and only text were used)?

    I agree with your thoughts on maintaining a consistent tone in your responses to the blogs of others. Based on your communication style in this initial post, my guess is that you have no trouble with good written communication to peers and professors.

  2. To answer your question Joni, we’d need to take a good look at the context of the situation. If you would have “waved your hands excitedly” when telling the story to this person, my guess is the tone is informal and they’re probably a close acquaintance or good friend. Therefore (if it’s your style) I would suggest implementing emoticons in order to express your excited notion. Depending on what platform you’re using to communicate, there are a plethora of options.
