Passage:
The effectiveness of communication in higher education depends not only on the clarity of the message but also on the context in which it is delivered. While ICT has expanded the reach of academic discourse, it has simultaneously created new challenges such as the dilution of interpersonal engagement and the risk of superficial learning. True academic communication requires a balance between technological mediation and human interaction.
