Business Communication: Presentation and Written Assignment

Presentation and Written Assignment:

Your task is to present a training session to your audience members designed to improve their communication in the workplace. For example, you could provide a training session on how to write effective business email. Your training session must build upon and extend the knowledge that the audience has and should logically argue why/how the information applies to or benefits the audience's work-related activities. Your presentation must contain information reflecting relevant industry standards and/or academic knowledge about the topic. To do this you will need to use primary source materials. The presentation should sequence information in a logical manner. It is expected that the delivery will be extemporaneous (limited notes/note cards) and will use presentation software. The presentations must be recorded and submitted during week 7. The presentation must be 8-10 minutes in length and should cite five references (orally and textually) (Does not have to all be peer-reviewed materials--but the sources must be credible)

The brief should answer the following questions:

1. What is the audience's current knowledge, skills-base and abilities?
2. What does the audience want to know?
3. What does the facilitator know (prior to conducting research into the topic)?
4. What is the goals statement?
5. What are the learning objectives?
