This collaboration between the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies, the MIT Libraries, and the Subcommittee on the Communications Requirement intends to support and further develop communication instruction at MIT with the use of instructional video, especially for CI subjects that are not currently supported by the WAC program. Their target audiences would be the students enrolled in CI subjects, as well as the faculty, instructors, lecturers, and TAs teaching in those subjects. The video for students will be focused on building general communication skills and delivered as "on-demand' learning; an instructional video for faculty, lecturers, and instructors teaching in CI subjects will be focused on activities to best ensure student learning.
