Communication Teaching Resources: Assignments and Materials to Use in Class

Module by: The Cain Project in Engineering and Professional Communication. E-mail the author

A well designed assignment helps students understand the purpose of the activity and the criteria that will be used to evaluate students’ work. Annotated examples and guides help students build on previous knowledge and step up to the demands of new types of communication. The materials in this section contain ideas for new types of assignments, guides that may be adapted for the specific requirements of courses, and PowerPoint files that may be shown in class to provide brief additional instruction on communication.

Lenses

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

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to 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 member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
