Goal: To apply relevant
communication theory and best practices to solve specific
instructional communication problem/s
The term project is an
opportunity to explore a dimension of instructional
communication that interests you. The
main criterion for choice and development of the project is that
it focuses on skills or concepts of instructional communication. You will create a project
that will occupy about 30% of your total effort for the
course, which is a substantial amount.
Below I list a few project ideas to get your thinking
started:
1)
Apply
skills and theory from the course to develop and implement a
training module for a campus or local agency, company, or
organization.
2)
Design
and implement a web-based course module; e.g. a one or two week
module for a course
3) Conduct a
literature review and write a
bibliographic essay on some significant aspect of
instructional communication.
4)
Design
and conduct and original research study on an important research
question in instructional communication.
5)
Assist
a faculty member in teaching a course and conduct an analysis of
the impact of your contributions to the effectiveness of the
course.
6)
Analyze
an appropriate sample of cablecast DE class sessions and provide
grounded and specific recommendations for course development and
pedagogical practice.
7)
Analyze
a web-based course and provide grounded and specific
recommendations for course development and pedagogical practice.
