Why is one-way delivery of information a misuse of communication tools?

• A. Because this kind of practice lessens interaction capabilities of communication tools
• B. Because it enables users to focus more on higher level cognitive activities
• C. Because the teacher expects the student to study more
• D. Because it requires activities that focus on thinking than responding

Answer: (A)

One-way delivery ignores the core purpose of many communication tools: to create interaction and feedback between participants. When information is pushed out without a path for questions, discussion, or real-time responses, the interactive features of the tools go unused. This makes the process passive and less engaging, and it prevents clarifications or adjustments based on learners’ needs. That loss of interaction is what makes one-way delivery a misuse of communication tools.

The other ideas describe potential outcomes or design choices that can occur in different contexts, but they don’t address the fundamental mismatch between a tool’s interactive capabilities and a single-direction flow of information.
