If

Education in the largest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values from one generation to another. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education)

and

Communication is the activity of conveying meaningful information. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the sender. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication)

Communication is a major consideration in any instructional design and an essential activity of instructional technology.

Typical means of accomplishing the task of communication in educational settings include the more general (oral, verbal, and nonverbal) forms of communication as well as more specific methods, tools, and devices:

Examples of situations affected by FERPA include school employees divulging information to anyone other than the student about the student's grades or behavior, and school work posted on a bulletin board with a grade.
