UNV-501: ARTICLE SUMMARY Read-only participants: a case for student communication in online classes Lavelle Figueroa Grand Canyon University Title: UNV-5: Article Summary This is a summary of the article titled “Read-only participants: a case for student communication in online classes” argues that the value of communication in online modules and the purpose of the success a scholar experiences when they pass an online module.

The main purpose of this article is find explanations, to some interests mentioned beforehand, the researchers conducted an eight week analysis of scholars of an online module. This analysis integrated the following strategy to observe online communication and classroom activity amongst scholar’s cultural diversity, geographical location and maturity both are the most important primary causal dynamics. Furthermore, the substantial data gathered by Nagel et al (2009) in their research describe the potential consequences of success and failures were documented.

Therefore, a successful completion of a online module they concluded the following: foremost, modules that had discussion forums allows a scholarly proactive interaction with fellow scholars and the professor. Subsequently, this type of module facilitates and /or enriches the online learning environment of the scholars by generating queries and replies (e. g. , in the form of posts, assignments, etc) of high critical thinking skills.

Furthermore, the third aspect we must consider when improving communication on our online module forums to enhance the online environment is creating rapport as well as wholesome interaction. Last but not least important of all, is the supportive and wholesome interaction with the instructor that is enhanced within the online environment provided substantial responses to the inquiries formulated by the instructor and fellow scholars with substantive answers. Finally, the lack of communication within the online module experience will result in serious repercussions, toward successful completion of the module.

Last but not least important, the researchers also concluded that a scholar does not successfully achieve their goal; of completing their module due to the lack of communication amongst both scholars and the instructor greatly impact our overall performance. The aim of this article is the responsibility of proactive communication and rapport within the online module environment like described in the article written by Nagel et al (2009) titled “read-only student”.

This kind of learner decides no proactively contribute to the online modules (e. g. discussion forums, teamwork, individual assignments as well as quizzes). For instance, this type of learner, only borrows the almost the same point of view of their fellow scholars and instructor without quoting their respective responses or reactions or restraining their responses. Finally, the causal elements of this unhealthy attitude are “procrastination, isolation, and/or unfamiliarity with technology” (Nagel et al. 2009). Briefly this research has concluded that proactive communication is a crucial element to successfully complete an online module. As a result, not participating proactively on the online module makes them read-only scholars. Bibliography Nagel, L. L. , Blignaut, A. S. , & Cronje, J. C. (2009).

This online class has helped me in some ways as In learning new techniques of how to explain In more detail of what I am trying to write about. I have struggled with this online class too and think I would have benefited more going to actual class. I believe I struggled with learning many of things because I learn better when I am one on one with a teacher. The Argumentation paper was fairly simple, but hard to explain many details. I believe I learned many of things and struggled with many of things from online classes, but overall I believe I did k with most of the papers.

I learned many of techniques of explaining In detail of what I was writing about. However, I have always struggled with explaining In good detail with many of things in my life. It’s something I will continue to work on so I can become a better writer. I use to love to write when I was younger and I have high hopes I will love it again. I tried to use grammar in a more proficient way this time around. I believe I Just lost touch with writing and I am Just playing catch up togged that good technique back. I believe I need to keep working on better details of what I am trying to write about.

I ill have It all In my head and when I go to type It; I usually don’t get It to come out the correct way. I wish I could have been able to actually go to classes in the college instead of online classes, but it doesn’t suit my life at this time. I believe I would have strives in a classroom and wrote many of wonderful things. In my house there are Just to many distractions and it makes it difficult to type a good paper. I try to teach my daughter how Important quiet time Is when you have to read or write. She comes to me and says all the time she understands how hard It Is to think and have a clear mind with castrations.

In a classroom setting there seem to be fewer distractions than at a home setting. One on one attention from a teacher would have been great to learn even more things to help me to become a better writer. The Argumentation paper was somewhat difficult to me to get the words out on paper as I wanted them. I found it difficult to explain in details once again. It was also somewhat difficult to argue what you’re talking about. I want to learn how to write a good Argumentation paper with good details. The grammar and punctuation don’t get me as bad as the explaining in details in my Essays.

Once again I believe most of that comes from distractions at home. If I would have had more time I probably would have found somewhere quiet to type my papers. When there are many of things going on in your life it is a great distraction in one’s work and accomplishments. I really enjoyed learning new things In this online class. I had many of ups and downs throughout class, but overall I feel I had more positive outcomes. I learned how to become a better writer. I learned how to type a better Argumentation Paper and get the points across better. Pop one day I can set aside distractions and find a calm place to read and write.

I really enjoyed the ups and downs throughout class because it taught me many of deferent techniques and how to become a better writer. This online class has helped me in some ways as in learning new techniques of how to explain in more detail of what I am trying to write about. I have struggled I learned many of techniques of explaining in detail of what I was writing about. However, I have always struggled with explaining in good detail with many of things ouch with writing and I am Just playing catch up to get that good technique back.

I will have it all in my head and when I go to type it; I usually don’t get it to come out how important quiet time is when you have to read or write. She comes to me and says all the time she understands how hard it is to think and have a clear mind with I really enjoyed learning new things in this online class.
