Even when the student population expects and appreciates more flexibility in scheduling, students still struggle with technology-enhanced instruction when course design does not effectively integrate such enhancements into “regular” in-person activities. Using hybrid workshops in the public-speaking course allows students to access recorded instruction, carefully managed online collaboration, guided practice, and reflective writing activities that improve the quality of their speeches while giving them practice in the workplace skills of teamwork and mediated communication. The structure of the hybrid workshops also means that course workload is consistent with its stated contact hours, even when the course does not meet completely in person.Courses This semester-long assignment series was used successfully for a hybrid introductory public-speaking class and is being adapted for use in a hybrid version of the basic communication course.Objectives Students will apply and practice public-speaking skills in both in-person and mediated contexts. Students will collaborate with peers both synchronously and asynchronously to develop specific skills related to public speaking.","PeriodicalId":44418,"journal":{"name":"Communication Teacher","volume":"408 2‐3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135636578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, few feel prepared to do so. The research methods classroom provides immense opportunities for developing a meaningful foundation for students to enhance information literacy such that they feel comfortable and confident using peer-reviewed scholarship.

Working in small groups, students participate in a four-part critical service-learning project by engaging in reflexivity, conducting an intersectional analysis, and imagining new futures for social justice on their university campus. This project develops skills in reflexive thinking and introduces intersectionality as an analytical framework for students to understand their positionalities and how interlocking system of oppression shape and impact the world around them.Courses First-Year Seminar, Introduction to Communication, Communication and Civic Engagement.Objectives The main objective of the project is to foster critical consciousness in first-year students. To do this, students will (1) demonstrate awareness of current social issues through critical service learning, (2) engage in reflexive writing to identify connections between themselves and systemic inequality, (3) apply intersectionality as an analytical framework for understanding interlocking systems of oppression, and (4) imagine possibilities for creating social change on their university campus.

The goal of this assignment was twofold. First, we explored the possibility of incorporating a service-learning element into a large module (approximately 500 students) that lacks resources to take students into the community. Second, we explored the impact of the service-learning element on students’ investment in the assignment. The dietetics department provided students on the persuasive communication course with information to develop material for the Trompsburg community. The communication students applied the skills they learned to design audience-centered health campaign materials for the dietetics students to take to the Trompsburg community. Students overwhelmingly provided positive feedback, indicating that they were more invested in the project, that the projects would have a positive impact, and that they were able to apply course concepts in a real-life situation. We argue that cross-disciplinary partnerships can effectively provide larger and/or underfunded classes with service-learning assessment opportunities. \u0000 Courses\u0000 This project was implemented in a large, multi-campus persuasive communication class, but could also be applied to any module that teaches content creation, such as marketing communication, strategic communication, visual communication, and so on. \u0000 Objectives\u0000 The objective of this project was to create an assignment that allowed students to apply the persuasive skills they learned throughout the semester in a way that benefitted a rural, poverty-stricken, South African community. Additionally, we wanted to assess whether students could receive the same benefits of service-learning projects without directly engaging with the community they were serving.","PeriodicalId":44418,"journal":{"name":"Communication Teacher","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135878174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
