Learner goals and capabilities

This course is designed to demonstrate communication’s impact in actually creating the experiences humans undergo when we organize socially around a shared goal. After we clearly explore the role of communication when humans organize, we then focus on several theories related to organizing. In the latter part of the course, we explore several topics that emerged from the organizing efforts of people. This list includes topics like emotion, conflict, change, leadership, technology, and the current experience of what it means to work.
