Our Basic Course and Communication Skills Training: The Time for Innovation is Now (Yes, Even in a Pandemic)
Prentiss, Suzy
Basic Communication Course Annual, v33 Article 19 p346-350 2021
Our basic communication courses have always been important for our students. COVID-19 presents us with many challenges as well as opportunities for innovation and reflection. We can now heed the call offered by Joyce et al. in 2019 to match the skills most in demand with those we teach and infuse intentionality and value throughout our courses. As we pivot to online education and digital communication, how can we craft the basic course to provide effective communication skills training in engaging, empowering and impactful ways?
