Communitive Tool

Communicative tool 

Communicative tools in ICT are a broad category encompassing any digital technologies used to facilitate the creation, exchange, and sharing of information between individuals or groups. These tools play a crucial role in enabling real-time and asynchronous communication across vast distances.

Communicative tool are of two types namely asynchronous communication and synchronous communication. Synchronous:

• Real-time: Synchronous communication and activities occur at the same time.
• Immediate response: Participants involved expect an immediate response or feedback from each other.
• Examples:
  • Live chat conversations
  • Video conferencing calls
  • Online gaming with real-time interaction
  • Face-to-face meetings or lectures

Asynchronous:

• Independent of time: Asynchronous communication and activities can happen at different times. There's no expectation of immediate response.
• Flexible scheduling: Participants can access information or contribute at their own convenience.
• Examples:
• Email communication (responses can be sent later)
• Discussion forums (replies can be posted at any time)
• Pre-recorded lectures or videos (watched on demand)
• Completing online assignments at your own pace
