When creating or revising a course it is important to include activities and assignments that are both interesting and of pedagogical value. Creating assignments and activities can be more challenging in online courses. To help alleviate this difficulty, this section includes several activities and assignments created by Communication instructors with experience in online teaching. Each of these activities or assignments is mapped to the NCA learning outcomes, and provides information on the time, materials, and instructions necessary for carrying out the activity or assignment. Because these documents are meant to assist in course development and design, they should not be used in their entirety and appropriate credit for any material used is expected.
