Open&Distance Learning Course/What is Slack?

In today's Open&Distance Learning lesson, we noted what the lesson contributed to us by using the Exit ticket. For example, the most important was Slack, which I had not heard of before. Today I would like to give some information about it.

Exit Ticket

What is SLACK?

Slack is a workplace messaging tool through which you can send messages and files. This means that Slack is an instant messaging tool. These add-ons are not important for using Slack as the main feature is all about communicating with colleagues.

There are two types of chat in Slack: direct message or DM (person-to-person chat), and channels (group chat). You have to take the following things into account before using Slack:

Slack name
List of Slack channels where you are a member
Chat window
Names of the people whom you have messaged

What is SLACK used for?

Slack can help your team communicate more effectively by replacing email, text messaging, and instant chatting with one software. Thanks to desktop and mobile versions, Slack can enable your team to interact and coordinate their work no matter where they are - in the field office, at home, or out knocking on doors.

The following are some of the important uses of Slack:

Slack can replace email, text messaging, and instant chat, all in one software.
You can keep all the important information out of your volunteers' personal email accounts.
You can share files and other documents with your teammates, such as images, written, and videos.
You can also mention the name of your teammates, which sends them notifications on their computer or mobile phone. This way, you can get attention. You can also mention a group's name, making it work as a walkie-talkie.

Slack as a Teaching Tool

Quicker and more iterable responses than with email
Archived and compartmentalized communication
Promotes natural and efficient conversations similar to text chatting
Aggregates announcements, resources, and conversations into one centralized location
Offers a large selection of integrations and plug-ins (e.g., feedback tools, media management, productivity suites, etc.)
