Description

Currently, Interpersonal Communication is taught as a traditional course in the Speech Communication Department of Minnesota State University Mankato. In light of heavy student demand, enrollment, and diminishing resources, it is reasonable to assume an online delivery system would be beneficial to the Speech Communication Department and to the University. This study examined the effectiveness of teaching a course which involves interpersonal skills and theories as an online experience. The methodology included a literature review reflecting research and practice related to online IPC courses. Interviews with and surveys of students and faculty who were involved with online courses at other institutions were included. This presentation will highlight a course proposal including a course syllabus, course outcomes and objectives, course materials and resources, assessment procedures, weekly lesson plans, questions for online discussions, and proposals for term projects and papers.
