Paper Abstract:      This paper presents findings on communication preferences of college students (N=1986) related to academic and non-academic purposes. This study also examines the use of technological tools which influence student communication preferences. Findings indicate a preference for face-to-face interactions despite the heavy utilization of technological devices. Educational implications are shared which challenge educators to incorporate communication involving not only reading or hearing others, but using tools for technological interactions to also view others, thus creating situations utilizing face-to-face encounters via those tools.
