The Future of Hybrid Communication

Hi everyone! my name is Yenny Sardi  and im from Public Speaking A from Ahmad Dahlan University. Today im going to telling you that Communication Studies has held the opening event for youth communication day 2021 on December 13, 2021.

in this event there are 5 keynote speakers : 1. Anton Yudhana, 2. Prof. Estrella Arroyo, 3. Jessada Salathong, 4. Dr. Kirti Dang-Longani, 5.Dr. Chen Chujie. Than the moderator is Mr. Mufid Salim, M.B.A .

the speaker that i  take is Mr.Anton, Communication Challenge in the Age of Hybrid. But what is hybrid communication ? The definition of hybrid in the dictionary is a wonderful place to start when telling a tale about hybrid communication. Hybrid communication connects two completely distinct sorts of workers: in-office and remote employees, much like hybrids represent an item created by blending two elements. When you describe it like that, it sounds simple, yet hybrid communication had to adapt swiftly to suit the demands of the modern post-Covid-19 world. But it succeeded admirably in offering a powerful tool for the hybrid workforce to complete their daily chores. 

The future of hybrid offices is bright thanks to this new mode of communication. This does not, however, imply that the hard work is finished. On the contrary, the demand to keep current and follow the latest communication trends grows, pushing hybrid communication to its limits and driving it to improve.

There are some topic’s about automation and AI. Making technology or software that can accomplish things automatically — without human involvement — is what automation is all about.

Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, is a branch of science and engineering concerned with the creation of intelligent machines (according to John McCarthy, person who coined this term). The goal of artificial intelligence (AI) is to have robots or software replicate, and eventually outperform, human behavior and intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence can or cannot be used to automate processes. Place some sensors and make anything happen based on the sensor data to give industrial automation. Between the first and third industrial revolutions, automation evolved into what we know today: manufacturing with automatic testing and control systems, mechanical labor, operating equipment, and, of course, computers. Explicit programming and regulations govern all forms of automation that have appeared in our environment.

The Future of work : The impact of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic requires educational institutions to implement Learning from Home  activities through the online distance learning method  using e-learning. Educational institutions that have been using direct communication in learning have switched to learning using online media (mediated communication). 

Some communication media in e-learning can only run in synchronous or asynchronous mode, some others can run in both modes. This study aims to determine the preferences of educators and students in choosing the type and communication media used in e-learning in the implementation.

Qualitative methods with a comparative descriptive approach are used to describe and compare the functions, advantages and disadvantages of each communication media as well as to see the preferences for the use of communication media in online distance learning. 

The learning process that occurs today, mostly uses a hybrid communication mode that combines synchronous and asynchronous communication. In choosing communication media that are used for e-learning, educators consider several factors, including: data quota consumption, user friendly, network infrastructure conditions, and conformity to learning activities. So that educators and students have high preferences for several applications such as Whatsapp, Zoom Meeting, Google Meet, Microsoft team, Google Clasroom, Google forms, Quizziz to be used together.
