Full Description
This volume continues a conversation that has been ongoing for decades: How do we as instructional communication researchers lend our expertise to help solve problems inside and outside of the academy?
In Instructional Communication in Professional Contexts, communication scholar and volume editor Michael G. Strawser brings together various researchers and professionals in communication studies to address and explore the current state of instructional communication as it can be employed outside the academy in five key areas in industry: learning and development; organizational; health; technology; and risk and crisis.
For each of these areas, an overview of the historical impact of instructional research is presented, followed by a discussion of current perspectives and future directions. Throughout, the book helps communication scholars, students, and practitioners better understand the innate ability of instructional communication research to solve problems beyond the walls of academe.
