Second person speaks directly to a reader, using pronouns such as "you" and "your."
Third person uses a more general voice that reflects neither the writer nor reader specifically, using words like "students" and "participants" and pronouns such as "he," "they" and "it."

Have you/should you use text messaging in context of course
communication?

Are email messages records? 1/3
…some e-mail messages, or information contained within them, are considered records and need to be identifiable as such. Email messages may be considered records if they verify, authenticate or otherwise support other significant documents or transactions.
![Page 35: 7 communication strategies for online teaching and learning gact2015](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58ae76141a28abea4f8b4b53/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Are email messages records? 2/3
Attachments sent with e-mail messages are generally assumed to be duplicate or working drafts of documents and therefore not considered records. This assumption also assumes each person sending attachments has a departmentally identified electronic storage area for their records and the authoritative version of the attachment has been stored in said designated electronic storage area.
![Page 36: 7 communication strategies for online teaching and learning gact2015](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58ae76141a28abea4f8b4b53/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Are email messages records? 3/3
Because e-mail systems are generally not acceptable primary storage systems for University records, e-mail messages considered to be University records must be identified and stored in a system compliant with the requirements established by the State Records Act and the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.

Universal Design – Why?
Impractical to personalize to every single person in all messages
A single presentation that accommodates the widest range of people possible is the most practical
