ICT and Communication Extension – UGC NET Question

E-mail and LMS platforms are examples of information and communication technologies that allow teachers and students to exchange messages without being in the same place or time. This computer-mediated communication can extend classroom interaction beyond physical boundaries.

Option A:
Option A limits communication to face-to-face interaction only, which does not match the use of e-mail or LMS, where interaction is mediated by technology and can be asynchronous.

Option B:
Option B is correct because e-mail and LMS are forms of computer-mediated communication that extend classroom interaction beyond physical meetings and fixed timings.

Option C:
Option C refers to mass communication through television channels, which is one-way broadcast to large audiences, not two-way online communication between teacher and students.

Option D:
Option D speaks about nonverbal communication using gestures. E-mail and LMS are primarily text-based and may include digital resources, but not mainly gestures.
