It explores the opportunities and problems arising from similarities and differences in communication patterns, processes, and codes among various cultural groups. It explores cultural universals, social categorization, stereotyping and discrimination, with a focus on topics including race, ethnicity, social class, religion, gender and sexuality as they relate to communication.9452021-01-05T22:20:59Z2024-01-22T14:52:17ZTutorials of Visual Graphic Communication Programs for Interior Design<img alt="Read more about Tutorials of Visual Graphic Communication Programs for Interior Design" title="Tutorials of Visual Graphic Communication Programs for Interior Design cover image" class="cover " width="683" height="1024" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTkxNiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--082d831e3fd50bb1b57cdc6911fc189794f63bc6/Book-cover_01-1-683x1024.jpg" />This book is for the beginning level of both architecture and interior design students who learn computer graphic communication software. The author developed multiple tutorials to teach three computer graphic applications, AutoCAD, Revit, and Enscape. AutoCAD is an essential computer drafting software which is 2D drawing software. Revit is a Building Information Modeling software, which is 3D based modeling software. Lastly, Enscape is a real-time rendering, animation, and virtual reality plug-in for users' 4D experiences.9782021-03-07T05:01:37Z2024-01-22T14:52:24ZLanguage and Culture in Context - A Primer on Intercultural Communication<img alt="Read more about Language and Culture in Context - A Primer on Intercultural Communication" title="textbook cover placeholder image" class="cover fallback " width="247" height="326" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" />The text introduces some of the key concepts in intercultural communication as traditionally presented in (North American) courses and textbooks, namely the study of differences between cultures, as represented in the works and theories of Edward Hall and Geert Hofstede. Common to these approaches is the prominence of context, leading to a view of human interactions as dynamic and changeable, given the complexity of language and culture, as human agents interact with their environments.9972021-04-27T23:18:10Z2024-01-22T14:52:25ZHowdy or Hello?: Technical and Professional Communications - 2nd Edition<img alt="Read more about Howdy or Hello?: Technical and Professional Communications - 2nd Edition" title="Howdy or Hello?: Technical and Professional Communications - 2nd Edition cover image" class="cover " width="673" height="854" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjI2NywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--6f34b799e0a765c1b0b8100b664c7237bf005595/HHH.JPG" />Technical writing courses introduce you to some of the most important aspects of writing in the worlds of science, technology, and business—in other words, the kind of writing that scientists, nurses, doctors, computer specialists, government officials, engineers, and other professionals do as a part of their regular work. The skills learned in technical writing courses can be useful in other fields as well, including education and social sciences.10422021-08-27T04:33:28Z2024-01-22T14:52:27ZIntroduction to Communication Systems: An Interactive Approach Using the Wolfram Language<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Communication Systems: An Interactive Approach Using the Wolfram Language" title="Introduction to Communication Systems: An Interactive Approach Using the Wolfram Language cover image" class="cover " width="772" height="1004" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mjc3OCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--53db68a29184e3512646b6d06dc69eb0e42877e0/Book-Cover-picture-min.png" />This ebook provides a unique pedagogical approach to teaching the fundamentals of communication systems using interactive graphics and in-line questions. The material opens with describing the transformation of bits into digital baseband waveforms. Double-sideband suppressed carrier modulation and quadrature modulation then provide the foundation for the discussions of Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM), M-ary Phase Shift Keying (MPSK), and the basic theory of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Traditional analog modulation systems are also described. Systems trade-offs, including link budgets, are emphasized. Interactive graphics allow the students to engage with and visualize communication systems concepts. Interactivity and in-line review questions enables students to rapidly examine system tradeoffs and design alternatives. The topics covered build upon each other culminating with an introduction to the implementation of OFDM transmitters and receivers, the ubiquitous technology used in WiFi, 4G and 5G communication systems.10492021-08-30T04:38:46Z2024-01-22T19:10:23ZSmall Group Communication: Forming & Sustaining Teams<img alt="Read more about Small Group Communication: Forming & Sustaining Teams" title="Small Group Communication: Forming & Sustaining Teams cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="559" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mjc5NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--4f23a394ec640e04afdcd10f4520b7f667a7a2c0/Small-Group-Book-Cover-350x559.jpg" />Small Group Communication: Forming & Sustaining Teams is an interdisciplinary textbook focused on communication in groups and teams.

As you already know, this course focuses on communicating in professional environments. Even if you haven’t held a job before, you know–at least on a basic level–that how you communicate changes depending on the context of your situation; specifically, you talk differently when you speak to customers/clients versus your co-workers versus your supervisors. Our goal in this text is to break down the communication process in professional environments so you can maximize your chance to get hired and retain your job once you graduate from university. We will do this by looking at communication through political, rhetorical, ethical, and interpersonal lenses and applying this knowledge to your future career.12052022-08-19T20:45:15Z2024-01-22T14:52:33ZTutorials of Visual Graphic Communication Programs for Interior Design, Volume 2<img alt="Read more about Tutorials of Visual Graphic Communication Programs for Interior Design, Volume 2" title="Tutorials of Visual Graphic Communication Programs for Interior Design, Volume 2 cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzgzMSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--e5d9401644fb4f4f8a98e46fe3cf2cbe3c68783c/GraphicComm-cover_02-350x525.jpg" />This book is for advanced-level architecture and interior design students who have in-depth knowledge and skills with computer-aided visualization software.
