The authors in this text address theoretical issues covering topics such as the importance of communication centers to higher education, the effects of communication centers on retention, critical thinking in the center, ethics, and more. These essays also explore ideas about center’s set-up and use of space, staff training, technology applications, and campus advertising and outreach. Communication Centers organizes cutting-edge knowledge of the theory and empirical research so as to serve practical use to peer tutors and directors, those who are new to the study of communication centers and to those who are seasoned experts. Furthermore, this collection introduces administrators and those interested in higher education to the potential value of communication centers to higher education.

Cases on Higher Education Spaces: Innovation, Collaboration and Technology http://works.bepress.com/russell_carpenter/12 http://works.bepress.com/russell_carpenter/12 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 07:34:30 PDT University Business magazine, in its recent “Collaboration Station” issue published in May, 2011, documented the recent flurry of reinvented spaces and new construction that caters to students and university populations. In it, they recall the uninviting environments of yesterday and look toward the future of designing higher education learning spaces. Higher education spaces are undergoing radical transformation in an attempt to respond to the needs of 21st-century learners and a renewed interest in collaboration that spans beyond the walls of departments, colleges, and libraries. Meanwhile, libraries, media labs, and other central higher education initiatives are reinventing their spaces through remodeled centers and full-scale renovation projects. Likewise, some involve new, collaborative practices that respond to the ways that students, faculty, and staff communicate, research, and learn in the 21st century. Universities are drawing from successful reinvented corporate environments as they design their new spaces, libraries are becoming centralized hubs for collaboration and information design, and the information commons concept has taken on a new meaning for higher education leaders.

This collection invites representatives from higher education, K-12 education, a range of industries, and the corporate sector to ask questions about the future of higher education spaces, collaborative partnerships, and technologies that serve to develop new environments or reinvent previously unused or underused ones. The editor invites single authored and collaboratively written articles from a diverse range of innovative higher education and corporate partners to offer perspectives on ways in which technology, collaborative efforts, and creative thinking can be leveraged to envision new and redesigned higher education spaces.

Introduction Process http://works.bepress.com/russell_carpenter/7 http://works.bepress.com/russell_carpenter/7 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 09:35:24 PDT The authors’ purpose in this seventh book in the “It Works for Me” series is to demonstrate that “everyone possesses creative talent, though it may be latent in some and difficult to bring out in others. It’s not just a talent possessed by artists and engineers, mind you, but everyone.” Furthermore, “Creative people have figured out consciously or un- that a small seed of creativity can be made to grow by having the proper environment and a minimal set of skills. And people can be taught or self-taught this process.” The authors/editors also believe that “all creative ideas link themselves to other creative ideas to develop something new and useful, be it a concept, a process, or a product. In order to disseminate and perpetuate [their] belief that the creative impulse resides in all of us, [they] have asked a host of friends to demonstrate it with essays and practical tips touching on supportive creative environments, strategies that foster and enhance creativity, and assessments that demonstrate creativity has indeed taken place.”

Such a space should be created to facilitate and nurture the speech-composing and practicing process through feedback from individuals or groups while also allowing students to move from public to private places. Our chapter will address this use of space by utilizing research conducted in the groundbreaking Noel Studio for Academic Creativity. Our research uses control and experimental groups from communication classes to investigate the relationship between space and oral communication
