UGCNET Questions

Learning management systems allow teachers to share content and interact with students through digital platforms. Messages can be accessed at different times and from different locations, making the communication asynchronous and technology mediated, extending interaction beyond scheduled class hours.

Option A:
Option A refers only to face-to-face modes, which do not account for the online, platform-based structure of an LMS.

Option B:
Option B correctly categorizes the use of LMS as computer mediated communication that supplements and extends traditional teaching.

Option C:
Option C suggests exclusive nonverbal communication, but LMS messages typically use written language and sometimes multimedia, not just nonverbal cues.

Option D:
Option D, mass communication, would imply a broad, unknown audience, whereas LMS use is restricted to a specific course group.

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.
