Module 5 is about effective group communication. As a leader, working well with others is non-negotiable.  According to Beth Schaefer, recipient of the 2016 EDUCAUSE Community Leadership Award, "To become a leader, take note of the opportunities around you and reach out to others. When you purposefully work toward building relationships and creating communities, you'll become an effective leader—both for yourself and for others."  Click on the visual below for more information from Beth Schaefer.

Module 5 Pre-Assessment
Each module includes a pre-assessment designed to assess your prior knowledge as well as give you a sneak peek at the module's content. Don't forget to take it!
Module 5 Lesson 1 Notes and Check Your Knowledge Quiz
Lesson 1 is "Effective Group Communication."  The notes include the following topics:  Communication, How Can Leaders Improve Group Communication, Listening, Understanding, Acknowledgement, What Can Interfere With Effective Group Communication, Top Barriers to Effective Group Communication.  Use the guided notes to record your main ideas and details from the notes. Then take the Check Your Knowledge Quiz at the end of the notes.  Screenshot your results (include at least the last question to identify which notes you took).  Post your screenshot to Canvas.  Hold onto your guided notes to use to study for Monday's Post-Assessment as well as for the test portion of the final exam activities.
Modules 5 Lesson 1 Practice Activity 
As a member of any group, you will have to share your thoughts and ideas with others. To do so, you have to communicate effectively with your all group members. This activity will help you assess your group preferences so that you will be able to be a productive member of any group. You will be sharing your preferences with your fellow group members for tomorrow's group activity. Tips:
  • Remember to post the template and not just a screenshot of your online quiz results.
  • Be sure you answer the questions honestly and completely.
  • Add examples so that it is clear you understand what you learned in the lesson notes.
