Welcome to the Communication Theories Blog of Oregon State University (OSU...Go Beavers)! As part of your communication theories course experience, you should participate in this blog. The blog includes a "communication theories of the week" section for your comments and discussion. It also contains a variety of topics and sections you may find interesting. Through this blog, we can learn about communication theories from and with one another.
The blog provides a venue for student-centered learning (rather than teacher-centered) through student to student interaction. The blog draws on your communication knowledge and experience.

Communication Theory or Concept of the Week
In this area of the Blog, nominate a communication theory or concept of the week. Comment on the nominations and responses of others. For example, during Week One you might nominate an idea that comes from any of the videos presented at the end of the "Course Introduction" video lecture (e.g., the Cardigans' music video, Jim Carrey's ideas on communication, the "future of communication" video).
Communication Stories
The videotaped class sessions from COMM 321 Winter 2008 include Professor Walker telling too many stories. Walker tells these stories to exemplify how communication theories and concepts can be applied to understand communication activity. What are your communication stories or personal experiences? Share them here and comment on the stories and experiences of others. What communication theories and concepts do these stories and examples illustrate?
General Comments
Use this area to post comments, questions, and advice about COMM 321 course content, design, materials, activities, and assignments. You may want to propose a new Blog discussion topic or section!
