Question 1

Virtual meetings can be synchronous or asynchronous.

Accepted Answer

Virtual meetings can be either synchronous (real-time) or asynchronous (not in real-time).

Question 2

________ are virtual meetings in which attendees view one of the attendees' computer screens for formal and organized presentations.
A)Discussion forums
B)Screen-sharing applications
C)Conference calls
D)Webinars

Accepted Answer

Webinars are specifically designed for formal and organized presentations, and typically involve screen-sharing applications to share the presenter's computer screen with attendees. Discussion forums and conference calls do not typically involve screen-sharing, and while screen-sharing applications may be used in some contexts, they are not necessarily associated with formal and organized presentations.

Question 3

Synchronous communication is said to occur if ________.
A)communication occurs between people in different time zones
B)there is a flow of communication according to the hierarchical structure
C)members of various teams work on the same task
D)all members of a team meet at the same time

Accepted Answer

Synchronous communication refers to communication that occurs in real-time, where all participants are able to engage in the communication simultaneously. In option D, all members of the team meet at the same time, indicating real-time communication, which is synchronous.

Question 4

A face-to-face meeting is an example of asynchronous communication.

Accepted Answer

A face-to-face meeting is an example of synchronous communication, where communication happens in real-time. Asynchronous communication refers to communication that does not occur in real-time, such as emails or text messages.

Question 5

Wikis are a virtual meeting in which attendees view one of the attendees' computer screens for a more formal and organized presentation.

Accepted Answer

Wikis are collaborative websites where multiple users can contribute and edit content. They do not involve a virtual meeting or viewing of one person's computer screen.

Question 6

In team surveys,one team member creates a list of questions and the other team members respond.

Accepted Answer

This is a common way to conduct team surveys where one team member acts as the survey designer and others respond to the questions.

Question 7

Explain synchronous and asynchronous communications in organizations with examples.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Explain synchronous and asynchronous communications in organizations...

Question 8

If participants do not meet in the same place,and possibly not at the same time,it can be regarded as a ________ meeting.
A)concurrent
B)parallel
C)synchronous
D)virtual

Accepted Answer

A virtual meeting is a gathering conducted remotely, usually via video conference or other digital communication technology, where participants can interact and communicate with each other despite being physically located in different places and possibly different time zones. The other options (concurrent, parallel, synchronous) may suggest that participants are located in the same physical space, which is not the case for a virtual meeting.

Question 9

Discussion forums are one of the nice-to-have features in a collaboration tool.

Accepted Answer

Discussion forums allow for participants to ask questions, share ideas, and collaborate on topics of interest, making them a valuable tool for facilitating communication and collaboration within a team or group.

Question 10

Email is a tool used for synchronous communication.

Accepted Answer

Email is a tool used for asynchronous communication, where messages can be sent and received at different times.

Question 11

Why should a team choose to use a collaboration information system?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Why should a team choose to use...

Question 12

________ is a type of asynchronous communication where one person creates a list of questions to which other users respond.
A)Multiparty text chat
B)Team survey
C)Webinar
D)Whiteboard

Accepted Answer

The described communication method is a team survey, where one person creates a list of questions and other users respond. Multiparty text chat, webinar, and whiteboard are not relevant to the description.

Question 13

Which of the following is an example of asynchronous communication?
A)multiparty text chat
B)videoconferencing
C)email
D)webinar

Accepted Answer

Asynchronous communication allows individuals to communicate at different times, and email is a prime example of this. Messages can be sent and received at different times, and there's no pressure to respond immediately.

Choice A (multiparty text chat) is an example of synchronous communication because participants are sending messages in real-time.

Choice B (videoconferencing) is also a synchronous communication method because participants are communicating in real-time through audio and visual cues.

Choice D (webinar) can be both asynchronous and synchronous depending on the interaction, but typically, it's synchronous because participants attend the virtual event in real-time.

Question 14

________ is a type of asynchronous communication in which a group member can post an entry,an idea,a comment,or a question,and other group members respond to it later,at their convenience.
A)Multiparty text chat
B)Videoconferencing
C)Webinar
D)Discussion forum

Accepted Answer

A discussion forum allows for asynchronous communication where group members can post entries, ideas, comments, or questions and others can respond at their own convenience. Multiparty text chat, videoconferencing, and webinars all involve synchronous communication, meaning that all participants interact in real-time.

Question 15

Asynchronous communication occurs when team members do not meet at the same time.

Accepted Answer

Asynchronous communication means that team members communicate without being present or available at the same time. Examples include email, text messaging, or leaving messages on project management tools.

Question 16

________ are useful when a team needs to meet on some topic but everyone cannot meet at the same time.
A)Blogs
B)Discussion forums
C)Wikis
D)Surveys

Accepted Answer

Discussion forums allow for asynchronous communication, meaning team members can log in and contribute to the discussion at different times. This makes them a great option for teams that cannot meet at the same time.

Question 17

Videoconferencing is likely to be less intrusive than text chat.

Accepted Answer

Videoconferencing often requires participants to be visually present and attentive, making it more intrusive as it demands more immediate and constant engagement compared to text chat, which allows for more flexibility in response time and multitasking.

Question 18

Which of the following is an example of synchronous communication?
A)email
B)team survey
C)multiparty text chat
D)discussion forum

Accepted Answer

Multiparty text chat is an example of synchronous communication because it involves real-time conversation between multiple participants, where each person can see and respond to messages as they are sent. Email, team surveys, and discussion forums are all examples of asynchronous communication, which involves messages that are sent and received at different times.

Question 19

________ communication occurs when team members do not meet at the same time.
A)Asynchronous
B)Synchronous
C)Procedural
D)Nonprocedural

Accepted Answer

Asynchronous communication refers to communication where team members do not meet at the same time, but instead communicate and respond to messages at different times. This type of communication includes email, messaging apps, and virtual collaboration tools.

Question 20

If a virtual meeting is synchronous,participants can interact with each other through ________.
A)discussion forums
B)videoconferencing
C)email
D)team surveys

Accepted Answer

Videoconferencing allows participants to interact in real-time, making it a synchronous communication method. Discussion forums, email, and team surveys are asynchronous methods of communication.
