Communication contribute to learning and ,undoubtely, to instructional design in many ways: exposure to a broad range of information and perspective, deeper understanding, and stimulus for insight and creative thought. By communicating and collaborating with others, an specially with the client, there will be more generation of ideas, better decisions, more plans for the product, an increase in motivation, and a rich evaluation of the product. In overall, communication and collaboration is a key to success in an instructional desing project. As for my project , the client and I will be able to accomplished easily the following taks by working together:
•Determine the feasibility of developing a program for the textbook support;
• Identify intended learning outcomes;
• Develop appropriate instructional designs based on learner/client characteristics; culture, context and circumstances;
• Match content and subject matter materials to intended learning outcomes;
•Identify additional materials, strategies and methods required;
•Prepare and produce materials for both synchronous and asynchronous modes of delivery;
•Produce all required learning materials;
• Assist with the logistics of the project;
•Continuously evaluate the product.
Since collaboration is highly advantageous, there should really be effective communication. If the communication among collaborators is poor, success might be prolonged, or even hindered.
Collaborators must have the skill of communication so that they can avoid misunderstandings, miscommunication, and conflict among them. Effective communication will help them be consistent with each other and the flow of information will be faster. Also, in discussions, their skill of communication is very important. It is when they will be sharing ideas and could formulate solutions to problems.
