COM 5600 - Instructional Communication Best Practices

This course will explore best practices related to various aspects of instructional communication that span disciplines and extend to professions outside higher education that are not discipline specific (e.g., communicating effectively, preparing a course or training, learner management, creating assessments). We will discuss the value of thoughtful pedagogy and develop techniques that make instruction approachable and engaging for all learners. Students will focus on topics specific to their academic discipline and preferred instructional modality.
