By Kevin Zollman
To hear someone speak is not to listen. The simple task of hearing an audio stimulus is not the same as listening. To open one’s ears to noise is called receiving. In an online class – to receive – a student must read the messages of the class. There are no audio noises but precise words on a screen will be received. The way a student obtains his information is different but must be treated and received in the same way.
Understanding begins to bring the student a little deeper into the listening process in many ways. To understand the information that a student has received, they must associate this information with something they already know, see the speaker’s point of view from the message, ask questions to clarify and finally rephrase the message to the speaker.

Use templates in the message to organize the speaker’s sense
Concentrate on the major support of the central message or idea
Repeat things for yourself; phrases or key names

When receiving a personal message, the student evaluates it to see why the speaker has said the message. Example: Professor Cill – Make sure your homework is done on time.
