I wrote this little piece to respond to some concerns voiced on the Basic Course List and I thought it might be relevant more generally. Now may be the time to reconsider and reconceptualize the basic course. Traditionally, the basic course in communication has been a course designed to teach the skills of public speaking. Then in the early 70’s courses in interpersonal communication were developed, again to teach basic skills.

After reading the varied posts, I’m convinced we (as an academic discipline) don’t have any evidence for the claims that a live audience is either effective or necessary in online public speaking courses. This may well be true (though I’m not sure) but perhaps an online public speaking course is not the place for it. Perhaps the online public speaking course should be focused on online public speaking—webinars, podcasts, videos on YouTube.

Of course, there’s no one answer and the biggest problem in one organization might not be a problem in another. What if the course never ended? Suppose a training course had a life after the course? Here are some possibilities for a never-ending course flow.

These arent the only things we might say to students in preface to a public speaking course, but they introduce, I think, a productive attitude and the importance of the right frame of mind in approaching a course like public speaking. Make a commitment to exert a major effort in this course.
