=The features of different media used in ODFL communications=

Different media have different educational impacts. If you just transfer the same teaching to a different medium, you fail to exploit the unique characteristics of that medium. You can do different and often better teaching by adapting it to the medium. That way students will learn more deeply and effectively. The image below exhibits a collection of your ODFL communications ecosystem, showing the media and technology options that are available to you for ODFL delivery. It is important to navigate through this broad ecosystem of media and technology and analyse the features of each before selecting the options that are most suitable to your ODFL context.



The tables below analyse the advantages, drawbacks, presentation characteristics and skills development that can take place through text, audio, video, computing and social media.

Skills Development
Understanding the features of each media in your ecosystem forms the foundation for your communication plan. This will help in selecting the most suitable media for your ODFL classes.
