Abstract | The Department of Communication Studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City is developing a computer package designed to teach and assess aural, visual, and oral communication skills through a multi-media approach with classroom tests, portfolios, and performance measures. Before developing the multi-method approach, the department tried six separate assessment strategies. The department wishes to provide user-friendly, interactive, and skill-oriented instruction that can be used in a personal system of instruction through a CD-ROM media laboratory, lecture, or individualized approach. The computerized learning approach is designed to adapt to two major trends in higher education: ethnic sensitivity and interactive-media education. The compact disc provides emphasis and supporting examples to illustrate communication concepts and extensive assessment of student knowledge, skills, and values. The variety of pathways available into the CD-ROM can be illustrated by the chapter on "supporting ideas." Even though the cost of developing the CD-ROM systems is high, costs can be managed because the material can be customized for use in large enrollment college courses. Advantages of this approach to teaching the basic speech communication course are that it: fosters student responsibility, uses peer instruction, adapts to learning styles, teaches computer literacy, gives effective speech examples, uses a module approach, and enables distance learning. This interactive, multi-media CD can provide a viable instructional and assessment tool for communication studies. (Contains 64 references and 4 figures illustrating pathways.) (RS) |
