I notice that several ex students and colleagues contact me on WeChat by voice message rather than written messages and I wonder why this is. Do they think it is easier to speak than compose a message? It seems less convenient to me as the receiver as they cannot be processed as quickly.
This is a contrast to many of my OU tutorials where many students seem keener to use text chat than the microphone.
