      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

An overview of interpersonal communication skills

Module by: Dennis Rivers

Summary: The Seven Challenges approach is a structured and sytematic way of learning the communication skills a person needs for success at home and at work. Topics covered include listening more responsively, negotiating the theme of a conversation, expressing one's thoughts and feelings more clearly, translating complaints into requests, asking questions more creatively, expressing more appreciation, and adopting the "continuous learning" attitude.
