The document discusses various methods for communicating with students in online courses. It suggests using tools that students are familiar with and can integrate with each other to enable student engagement and contributions. Some synchronous communication methods mentioned include video conferencing platforms for guest speakers or live office hours. Asynchronous methods include course blogs for sharing content and course wikis for less structured discussions. Embedded chat within existing course sites is also suggested for real-time question and answer sessions.

- 9. Less Structured Discussions Useful for office hours, real-time Q&A, brainstorming, feedback Not for in-depth discussions or those requiring a record Instant Messaging (IM) : Messenger, AIM, AOL, Yahoo, Google, etc. Not really suitable for instruction, may be used by students amongst themselves Difficulties for instructor to bring everyone together with one tool/in one environment due to different accounts
