Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
The article discusses the growing economic pressures to develop audio-visual materials for teaching business communication to college students and looks at the major obstacles in creating telecourses in the U.S. Due to the aging U.S. population and increasing cost of college education, U.S. schools resort to distance learning to attract older students and maintain the cost of education. Growing corporate initiatives to provide communication skill training to employees also increase the demand for videotaped business communication instruction. Major obstacles in developing telecourses include its limited capacity to teach behavioral skills in communication and quality control issues.

The department, housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, offers courses of study leading to the bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. The Nebraska State Legislature mandated that the university system budget cut 3 percent, or $3.8 million from its budget, over two years. The financial situation in the state at the time of the budget mandate was generally good in comparison to other states. It is important to know that the university campus was under …

A Summary Of Ideas For Sustaining Communication Programs, Paul E. Nelson
Journal of the Association for Communication Administration
This article offers several ideals for communication programs that want to persist through hard times. The ideal model for a faculty member varies by institution and level of instruction. If one is the major of last resort on the campus, if one is more likely to attract football players than members of the National Honors Society, and if one attracts majors because they do not have to take math, then one need better recruitment. On the other hand, grade inflation is a national problem, and it crosses many disciplines. The engineers and scientists tend to attract first rate students, but …

Context Vs. Process: Revising The Structure Of The Basic Course, Donald D. Yoder, Samuel P. Wallace
Context Vs. Process: Revising The Structure Of The Basic Course, Donald D. Yoder, Samuel P. Wallace
Basic Communication Course Annual
The current structure of most basic courses can be traced to the traditional context-based approach to studying communication. However, there seems to be no agreement on what specific contexts should be covered. Students often become confused with context specific jargon and may have difficulty transferring skills and knowledge across contexts. A different approach is to focus on transactional communication skills, principles, and processes that transcend contextual definitions. Such an approach focuses on similarities rather than differences among contexts and may lead to an integrative, rather than devisive, approach to communication study. Rather than learning specific skills for distinct contexts, students …
