Q&A

• Why is feedback crucial in the communication process?

  Feedback is the receiver's response to the message received from the sender. It is essential for the sender to know that the message has been received and understood. Noise or barriers can interrupt the communication process in a negative way, affecting understanding and reception of the message.

• What are the roles of encoding, decoding, receiver, and feedback in communication?

  Communication involves encoding and decoding of messages. The receiver plays a crucial role in the communication process, and feedback from the receiver is an important part of the communication process.

• What are the different elements of communication?

  The different elements of communication include the speaker, message, encoding, and channel. The speaker is the source of the information, the message is the idea being conveyed, encoding involves formulating the message, and the channel is the means of delivering the message.

• How is communication symbolic?

  Communication is a symbolic interaction with intended outcomes. Meanings of messages can be individually construed by receivers, especially in diverse cultural settings.

• What are the key characteristics of communication?

  Communication is about sharing and conveying messages, is dynamic and ever-changing. It involves communicators who play the roles of speaker and receiver or listener. Communication follows a particular system and is irreversible once it reaches the receiver.

• What is communication?

  Communication is the process of sharing and conveying messages. It is dynamic, involving communicators, following a system, and irreversible once it reaches the receiver.

• 00:20 Today's lesson is about the nature and elements of communication, including its definition, nature, process, and elements. Communication is about sharing and conveying messages, is dynamic, involves communicators, follows a system, and is irreversible.
• 04:04 Communication is irreversible, proactive, and symbolic. It involves relaying messages with potential for individual interpretation.
• 07:41 Different elements of communication include the speaker, message, encoding, and channel. The speaker is the source of the information, the message is the idea being conveyed, encoding involves formulating the message, and the channel is the means of delivering the message.
• 11:21 Communication involves encoding, decoding, receiver, and feedback. Different channels can be used for communication such as multimedia presentations or microphones.
• 14:35 Context, barriers, and process of communication are crucial. Communication process involves sender encoding, transmitting, and receiver decoding.
• 18:23 Feedback is crucial in communication process as it signifies the message has been received, noise or barriers can disrupt the communication process.
