Synchronous communication
- Synchronous communication is real-time communication where you can exchange information with others immediately.
- Synchronous communication requires an immediate response.
Asynchronous
communication
· Asynchronous
communication means interaction without real-time conversation – replies can be
delayed. For example: E-Mail.
· Not real-time
· No immediate
feedback
· Some examples are
e-mail, message text, recorded classroom, blogs, discussion boards, and Vlog
Model of communication
Linear
communication model
· Linear
communication model is one way.
· There is no
feedback
· Components of Linear
communication model are sender, encoding(words, pictures, symbols), and
decoding.
· Some common
examples of linear communication models are newspaper, radio, TV, and magazine.
Transactional
communication model
· The transactional communication model is a two-way communication model.
· Both give and
take take place (exchange or transactional).
· Synchronous in
nature
· There is an immediate
feedback
Interactive
communication model
· Interactive
communication model is a new communication technique.
· Asynchronous in
nature
· There is feedback
after a delay
Characteristics
of effective communication
· Characteristics of effective communication are clear, concise, concrete, correct, coherent,
complete, and courteous.
· Two-way process
· Exchange of ideas
takes place
· Continuous process
· Use of words as
well as symbols
· Communication is
all-pervasive
· Mutual understanding
· Four key communication components are encoding, transmission medium, decoding,
and feedback.
