[ATTW-L] Video resources on slide design and email communication

[Joanna Wolfe]

Colleagues:
As you are ramping up for the start of the spring semester, I wanted to share two resources from CMU's Global Communication Center that you may be interested in.

*       Designing effective slide presentations<https://youtu.be/fK0Vv2OinoM>. A 10 minute video with optional exercises students can complete as homework.  Based on research by Michael Alley and others.


*       What employers and professors wish you knew about email communication<http://youtu.be/hKlOsAEKpws?hd=1> .  A 14-minute video with optional exercises.  Based on research reported in the following study:

Wolfe, J., Shanmugaraj, N., & Sipe, J. (2016). Grammatical Versus Pragmatic Error: Employer Perceptions of Nonnative and Native English Speakers. Business and Professional Communication Quarterly, 79(4), 397-415.



Both videos were developed by CMU's Global Communication Center.  We have been using these in classes for the past year to very good success.
