Abstract

Abstract: This paper discusses the formative stages of an ongoing study to develop a course in oral communication that can be taught entirely online using chat rooms, bulletin boards and synchronous video-conferencing. It addresses the reasons for the development of the on-campus oral communication course, its structure, pedagogical foundations and its evolution from the face-to-face and distance print-based delivery modes to be taught entirely online. Due to current technical limitations a simulated online course will be developed and conducted under experimental conditions using a Local Area Network. This study will not only assist oral communication instructors, but also instructors developing a wide range of courses for online delivery.
