Course Textbook

 

This on-line textbook serves the course. It includes the reading and reference material associated with learning objectives. Students should perceive this on-line text to be different from traditional course texts. Although the textbook may be printed to provide a hard copy for reading and reference, the on-line version contains hypertext links to elements designed to reinforce learning objectives. These links provide additional, ancillary, or even integrated information to that contained in the on-line text. Before a Learner abandons the on-line version of the text, these additional links should be reviewed to ensure that any pertinent data, concepts or applications relevant to the course are understood.

 

 

Table of Contents

The following pages comprise the textbook used for the course Communication Policy and Strategy. Students will be better prepared for the discussions on each of these topics if the Chapter has been read prior to the class. The Syllabus page selected from the navigation bar to the left, or at the bottom of this page, will provide dates by which the readings must be completed. As you navigate the textbook the lightbulb indicates study help or additional information that is relevant to the chapter's discussion. You probably should check out these lightbulb links. The study help may make the chapter's concept more clear. These lightbulb links require helper applications for your web browser to access. You should ensure you have Macromedia's Flash Player and Apple's QuickTime Player to access all the lightbulbs. Each of these is free so, please download them and use them to help you understand the topic material better. To help you ensure your understanding of concepts, the student with his hand in the air indicates a link to a Kwickie Kwiz that will challenge your mastery of the associated concept.
