DAY 2
GATHERING AND
ORGANIZING
INFORMATION
USING ICT
Advantages &
Disadvantages of
using online tools
to gather data
ADVANTAGES
Flexibility:
accessible 24×7,
any place as long as
you have an
internet
Levelling: reserved
people who usually don’t
speak up can say as much
as they like while “loud”
people are just another
voice and can’t interrupt
Documented:
unlike verbal
conversation,
online discussion
is lasting and can
Encourages reflection:
participants don’t have
to contribute until
they’ve thought about
the issue and feel
ready
Relevance:
provides a place
for real life
examples and
experience to be
Choice: a quick
question or
comment, or a long
reflective account
are equally
Community: over time
can develop into a
supportive,
stimulating
community which
participants come to
Limitless: you can
never predict where
the discussion will
go; the unexpected
often results in
increased incidental
DISADVANTAGES
Text-based: Predominantly relies on
inputting text which can be
challenging for those who don’t like
to write or have poor keyboard skills,
but with the advance of broadband
connectivity and voice and video
conference technology – this will be
less of an issue.
No physical cues:
without facial
expressions and
gestures or the ability
to retract immediately
there’s a big risk of
Information
overload: a large
volume of messages
can be
overwhelming and
hard to follow, even
Threads: logical
sequence of
discussion is often
broken by users
not sticking to the
Time lag: even if you
log on daily, 24 hours
can seem like a long
time if you’re waiting
for a reply; and then
the discussion could
Inefficient: it takes longer
than verbal conversation
and so it’s hard to reply to
all the points in a message,
easily leaving questions
unanswered
Isolation: some
learners prefer to
learn on their own and
don’t participate in
the discussions
Directionless:
participants used to
having a teacher or
instructor telling them
what to do can find it a
leaderless environment
(and that’s where tutors
