Develop online teacher presence, promote active learning and connect students with professional networks.
Synchronous Communication
Synchronous communication tools enable real time communication and collaboration in a ‘same time-different place’ mode.
- Collaboration
- Allows for immediate response and feedback
- And can take place irrespective of distance.
- Online conferences
- Chatrooms
- Student response systems.
Tools such as Collaborate Ultra also offer functions which allow for simultaneous viewing of whiteboard drawings, sharing of images and simultaneous internet browsing, creating a more engaging learning environment.
Collaborate Subject Rooms
Get started with using Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, a real-time virtual classroom and web conferencing tool that lets you add files, share applications, and use a virtual whiteboard to interact.
If the class conversation tool is activated on a group assessment item, then students of that group and teaching staff can converse with each other in a chat like panel and can also enter a Collaborate session together.
GoSoapBox is a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Student Response System where students use Wi-Fi enabled devices on campus to interact online with their lecturer and peers before, during or after a face-to-face class. The tool promotes student engagement in an active learning approach. It has features where students can indicate their level of understanding through the Confusion Barometer; and lecturers can create quizzes and polls, discussion topics/questions. All data can be exported by the lecturer for later analysis and response. GoSoapBox is compatible with a variety of mobile devices such as laptop computers, tablets and smartphones.

Asynchronous Communication
Asynchronous communication involves a time delay in the transmission of information between two or more contributors. Contributors do not need to immediately receive or respond to shared information.
- Social media - which allows educators to share their interests and thoughts with a smaller group with common interests. These tools can connect students with the community, professional development opportunities and future employers.
- Discussion board forums - can contribute to the development of students’ critical thinking and writing skills. Choose a manageable topic with clear scoping, boundaries and demonstrations that help maintain the focus of the discussion.
- Announcements, blogs, and emails
Students and educators have more time to research and reflect on topics or concepts prior to formulating a response. The history of group interactions is captured and shared.
For more information on online discussion board facilitation, visit Mastering Online Discussion Board Facilitation Resource Guide.
Each subject or community site has an Announcements page where teaching staff can post information about the subject activity. Announcements can include text, images, media content, and links to websites and other files.
If the class conversation tool is activated on a specific item, such as an Ultra Document, then students and teaching staff can converse in a chat like panel that can be seen by others who visit the item later.
If the class conversation tool is activated on a group assessment item, then students of that group and teaching staff can converse with each other in a chat like panel and can also enter a Collaborate session together.
The most common form of interaction in an online course is through discussions. You can create a discussion with your class using the Discussion Board feature in Learn番茄社区.
When you create a discussion, you can assign groups to help students feel more comfortable because fewer people are involved.
Emails can be sent to members of a subject, organisation, or course group via the Message tool in Learn番茄社区. If you use this tool and want the message to appear in the receivers email inbox, you must check the box next to 'Send an email copy to recipients'.
GoSoapBox can prepare and deliver quizzes for students before class, they can reflect and contribute to the discussion in the question section during class and go back and review this section after class. Lecturers may also review the question section after class and release another poll, Q&A, or quiz.
