3.B. G.I.F.T.S. (Great Ideas for Teaching Speech)
Enhancing Communication and Civility in the Basic Course: Insights from New
Instructors
Sloan Morgan | 116
In an age in which many students have developed and communicated their identities and
communities primarily through online mediums, the Basic Communication Course often
asks students to engage and share ideas in a traditional brick and mortar setting. This panel
of MA students and recent graduates showcases several insightful ideas for enhancing
communication, community, and civility through active learning and critical reflection. The
new instructors on this panel explore different ways to teach group, interpersonal, and
public communication. Together we hope to evoke new ideas and collaboratively develop a
better understanding of how to enhance learning and instruction in the Basic Course.

3.C. G.I.F.T.S. (Great Ideas for Teaching Speech)
Producing & Promoting an Independent Film
Sloan Morgan | 105
Two faculty members and one former undergraduate student offer “Great Ideas for
Teaching Students” by presenting how broadcasting and public relations teams joined
forces to create a multi-disciplinary service-learning initiative with potential to bring
awareness and change to students, community, and national audiences alike. In spring of
2013, educators in broadcasting, and public relations focused their efforts toward
producing, promoting and raising funds for a documentary that highlights the struggles of
an impoverished community and its large American Indian populace. Presenters will
highlight successes and challenges of working on a high-profile community project within
the political and social contexts of a small university and its local community setting.

5.A. Tragedy, Poverty and Civility: When undergraduate film-making becomes
integrative learning
Sloan-Morgan | Bryant Recital Hall
“Civility” is a term grumbled about in its absence, yet, we argue, insufficiently discussed
deliberately or defined carefully as a conceptualization not only of American civic life, but
of the conditions needed in academia to assure that education might go well. As such, one
might expect that every professor, no matter what the course topic, might operationalize
civility’s definition during actual Communication courses. We suggest that although
Communication majors bring into classrooms with them many 21st Century stresses that
can make learning difficult, and they’re clutching and using abundant technology tools that
often distract today’s students from listening (a requirement of true civility) to their faculty
or their peers in class where they are expected to absorb new knowledge.
7
Carolinas Communication Association 2013
So how could the actions of two undergraduate filmmakers in creating documentary films
about highly stressful conditions of human life and communication have awakened their
professor to the need to deliberately discuss civility and to provide opportunities to
explore the concept (including in department service-learning courses) to assure that
Comm majors understand what it is to enact civility. and that students who are aware of
the concept are likely to do more thorough work with technology, including in creating
stressful Communication senior film projects.

5.B. Technologically Speaking: Challenges and opportunities in mapping emergent
communication theory and practice in traditional and technologically based
pedagogy
Sloan Morgan | 105
The present moment in time positions higher education pedagogy in a matrix of
synchronous and asynchronous communication channels. This evolving matrix is
characterized by faculty desire for sound pedagogical frames, student engagement and
retention, and learning objective fulfillment. As faculty navigate this terrain, grounded in
their discipline expertise, their perpetual adaptability to new technology is imperative. The
current panel explores faculty and students’ co-construction of the present rhetorical
moment in time through varied technologically infused approaches to course delivery and
degree completion. As the panelists will discuss, the notion of civil discourse morphs,
presenting additional challenges and opportunities to propel higher education practice.

6.A. A Civil Approach to Online Education: Strategies for Success
Sloan-Morgan | Bryant Recital Hall
Increasingly, communication conferences contain panels related to online education.
Unfortunately, our experience has been that these panels often seem to become complaint
sessions about the fact that online education is part of higher education, and that there is a
push for more faculty to be involved. With that in mind, we developed a program
composed of professors who have taught online courses and who have found ways to make
the courses a positive experience for students and faculty.

6.C. Traditional and Technological Advocacy in South Carolina: Student Activists
Speak Out II
Sloan-Morgan | 209
This panel consists of Columbia College undergraduate students and their professor
discussing the main project in a course called The Rhetoric of Public Advocacy. From one
perspective, this panel can be seen as a follow-up panel to a similar one presented at CCA’s
conference in Winston-Salem in 2011. The course project asked students to pick a
particular cause they were invested in and, utilizing the rhetorical lessons the course
supplied, construct very strategic rhetorical packages (thinking in terms of specific
messages, audiences, situations, strategies, goals, and the like) for four different mediums
of advocacy: traditional oral discourse, written discourse, new/social media, and body
rhetoric (marches, protests, and the like). Students had the choice of either mapping out
plans for advocacy, or else actually taking the show on the road as activists. The students
11

on this panel will each discuss how they utilized their rhetorical training to perform their
advocacy.

7.D. Conversation is the Starting Point: What I Learned as a TED Talk Presenter
Sloan-Morgan | 211
The concept behind TED talks is “ideas worth sharing”—big ideas and concepts that can
change the way we think. TED stands for technology, entertainment, and design so
presentations routinely incorporate all three into a lively showcase of communication
skills.
How do you take a communication perspective on an idea of interest to us all that stays
close to the issues, theory, and concepts we discuss in class, in papers, and in speeches?
This presentation shows you how one professor did just that by blending in the
philosophies and theories of Bahktin, Levinas, and coordinated management of meaning
(Pearce, 2006). If you look closely and listen carefully to the TED talk, you will see that the
presentation speaks of communication ethics and the rhetorical means to prompt social
change via the medium of community-engaged research and teaching.

8.B. General Education Requirements and Comprehensive Articulation Agreement and
Communication Courses
Sloan-Morgan|Bryant Recital Hall
A panel of representatives from North Carolina Universities and Community Colleges
will discuss General Education requirements at their respective institutions. An additional
focus will be how NC Community College transfer students can successfully transfer
Communication courses that will satisfy the first two years of a university’s General
Education requirements.
Note: Transfer related discussions have generated plans for a revised Comprehensive
Articulation Agreement between NC Universities and the NC Community College
system. While not finalized, initial publications indicate that COM may not be part of the
first 30 hours/transfer diploma. What is happening and what are the implications for the
Community College Communication programs and students’ successful transition to the
four-year school?
