Electronic Assignments

Documentary Poster and Oral Presentation

For this assignment you will document a local event and present a textual and visual record of that event to a public audience. You will initially work in a group to identify a significant communication event occurring on campus or in the local area during a one-month period. As a group you will decide how best to preserve the event through various artifacts (video, audio, interviews, published accounts, news articles, etc.). Your group will submit a formal proposal outlining the project and your methods for collecting data that will accurately represent the event.

This ISUComm workshop will explore the role of electronic slide presentations in both foundational and advanced communication courses. We'll start by focusing on the PowerPoint debate engaged by Edward Tufte and others. Then we'll take a broad curricular view, sorting out the competencies and learning objectives that best serve students in lower- and upper-level communication classes.
